Listed below are a few things my infant does that would be considered borderline neurotic if she were an adult:
1. While eating she plucks at her clothes; she pulls at the fabric over and over again.
2. Another thing she does while eating is she puts her hand on top of her head and plucks at her, practically non-existent, hair. In her defense, what hair she does have is super soft and fluffy and feels particularly nice when you snuggle your face into it.
3. When excited she flails her arms and then drops her head quickly and to the left as if she has a tic. I'm not entirely sure she doesn't.
4. Laughs and cries at the same time. I think she's still working out her emotions. Or she needs Xanax, I can't be sure.
5. She has a fetish for paper. She loves crinkling it and chewing on it which is all fun and games until we realize a chunk of paper is missing. It's one of the few things she gets upset about if we take it away.
6. She sucks her lips in over and over again. This might not look so strange if she had teeth.
7. She balls her hand into a fist, sticks it in her mouth, then moves it from her mouth to her ear, back and forth frantically. In the meantime, her face gets drenched in her own saliva. (update: 11/9/2011)
