Cutest "Unclear on the Concept" Ever

I set up the Baby Containment Device today, in a fit of "Oh my gods I can't cope." (Bonus revelation: if I give her food when she's in the BCD, the cats can't steal it. Arthur just mopes mournfully outside and presses his face into the mesh, at which point she pokes him in the nose.)

This puts her in a position where, if the door to the bathroom is open, she can peeeeer into the bathroom. As this is One Of The Places The Parents Vanish Into Regularly, this is very exciting. Thus, the happy "I see you!" face peered at me through the mesh.

Now, a while back she figured out that she could lean around objects to see people and peekaboo at them. And that people would sometimes lean to behind furniture, laptops, etc. to peekaboo with her.

I often do a few rounds of peekaboo before ducking into the loo in order to make the whole vanishing thing less upsetting.

So....

Round happy babyface peers at me.

Baby leeeeans to one side, still watching me through the mesh.

Baby straightens up! Peekaboo!

Then she did it to the other side....
