Flying Baby

A sure-fire way to get a smile out of Lydia is to lift her over your head. I call it "Flying Baby!" It doesn't matter if I do it while standing, sitting, or lying flat on my back. It always tickles her. I often do it after picking her up from the changing table.


This can be a tricky maneuver. She has her mouth open. I have my mouth open with a "wheeeeeee!" You do the math. Gravity is not my friend sometimes. Somehow, I've managed to catch her spit only once so far, but you can bet my reflexes are lightning fast.
