Up

Triumph!

K-bao's desire to see her own face in the little mirror we rigged up on the floor finally overcame her unimpressive neck muscles.

We call this the victory of vanity over sloth.

As you can see here - a bit wobbly - but definitely up.

Her little neck has stiffened appreciably - both literally and metaphorically - over the past week. When held, she now cranes as far back as she can in an effort to make use of her new found freedom of movement. The strength is not yet completely there so she still looks like a bobblehead doll. She also tends to simultaneously wriggle her bottom, kick her legs vigorously, and generally make it as difficult as possible for whomever it is trying to hold her.

Incidentally, K-bao apparently sometimes likes her appearance in the mirror and sometimes not. Sometimes she will coo and giggle. But other times she will shrink back with a look of disappointment, and give us an exasperated look: "What did you do to my hair?!"
