Amazing Rotatable Baby
Penny
Last night was much like most other nights. Penny fell asleep on my lap, and I put her in her crib. An hour or so later, Matt and I went to bed, and around 1am she woke us up. When I went into her room to pick her up and change her diaper while Matt put the bottle together, and I had to call him to come and verify that my eyes were telling the truth. I had put her down - as always - with her head towards the window, her feet toward the wall, and tucked her blanket up around her chest. But at 1am, when she woke us up, she had rotated about 180 degrees - her feet were toward the window (and were kicking the baby monitor, which explained the weird sound I'd been hearing from it) and her head was toward the wall. The blanket had been kicked off and was bunched up in the vicinity of her head. She hadn't rolled; she was still on her back. Just rotated. We have no idea how. Or when. Wouldn't that much movement make some noise? Goofy girl.

And then they said...
You're assuming she does it all at once. What if it's more like a rotation by degrees? And for that matter, does she like that direction better? THAT would be the really amusing part... a baby tuned to magnetic north... Barron asked if she was trying to align herself with magnetic north as well. I asked if he thought we should float her in a pool on a ring and see how she drifts. Smart boy, he didn't answer. Maybe feeding her an iron-fortified formula isn't the good idea we thought it was...
