Last night we awoke to the sounds of Addie giggling and generally carrying on in her room. After waiting a few minutes to see if she was going to nod off to sleep, Ellen poked her head in to see what could possibly be so entertaining at 2:30am. Addie was curled up in a ball in her sleeper grabbing her feet. Her new found skills of grasping objects and realizing she has funny appendages at the other end of her have merged into a game of footgrab. She looked up at Ellen grinning away and giving up her secret training regimen.

Apparently, during new learning phases, babies sometimes practice their skills at night. I never thought training a ninja was going to be this easy.
