I am used to really strong babies.  Scout rolled over at four days old.  Dash wowed the nurses with his strong neck in the NICU.  And Navy could headbutt me to tears at a very young age.  But this little Pips is fragile.  She is still little — 8 lbs, and she has easily been my most delicate.  It has been several weeks — probably since she was two months — that she has been holding her head up strong and proud.  She loves her tummy time, and she is constantly arching up on her hands to look around and see the world.  But nothing gets her up and about faster than if she hears the voice of one of her favorites.  So when she was on her tummy this afternoon, and Scout laid in front of her to talk his sweet talk to her, guess what little strong girl immediately arched her way up to make eyes with her brother.
