Side Saddle

We have discovered a Zoeistic behavior worthy of note of sharing. Now that our young lady has been successfully pulling herself up and trying to climb on everything in site, she has also began to established her preferred sitting arrangement when positioning herself in your arms or against your body.

Zoe likes to sit side saddle with you. Preferably on your arm or your leg, but where she can then put her arm over your shoulder and face the same direction as you. It's an "us" position to put it another way and it makes her very happy. It also doesn't matter if we are in the pool, laying in bed, sitting on the floor, or standing - that's how we get comfortable.

She definitely is a social girl and a born networker. With this type "involved seating" arrangement, she has also begun to mimic the act of talking. Given that she doesn't undersatnd a word anyone is saying, it doesn't appear important to her that we understand her either. But she can make the noises as we do.
