cybele has finally started to grow out of some of her clothes. i thought she never would. for a little while there she
was acting as if she would reject babyfood henceforth, makeing a clean break with it. then she decided that she still needed/wanted it, at least her favorite kinds. but she is also a generally adventurous eater of all fingerable foods. her profound delight in extending her arm fully and proudly dropping her foods on the floor attenuates the amount of food that she is allowed to feed to herself. she has developed some impressive climbing moves that even her unlce donaldmike would be pleased with, including maneuvers that could only be characterized as 'gambits', as in, if she doesnt get this hold, she will bite it, face first. but if she gets the hold, ooohhhh, can't you just taste the freedom? now she is rocking on the rocking horse...by standing up on the saddle.

have you noticed (i'm sure you have) that with cybele, she enhances each move or activity with the addition of a thing that makes it more pleasurable? so, there is walking or running. then a better thing is doing it with something in her hand (preferably squishy). then better than that is putting the squishy thing in her mouth while walking then running. the best is when she can put something squishy in her mouth, walk, run, climb WITH ONE HAND (because she is holding something squishy in her other hand) and achieve her height and stand and bounce sucking on something squishy. i never saw it as a progression until this past week, but i bet if maslow or someone famous with a big name studied it, it would become important to anyone's development and would bear cybele's name -to wit, THE CYBELE PROGRESSION.
