- Wow. This sounds exactly like my Maggie. She'll sit at my feet calling
- very politely for about 30 seconds. If I don't respond, pretty soon
- she's hanging from my waist, and then she crawls up to my shoulder. I
- think she mostly just wants to see what I'm doing up there, since she's
- still too little to jump up to the sink. She's only four months old.
- Maybe she'll be able to make it up to my shoulder in one jump by the
- time she's grown. Wouldn't THAT be wonderful? :)
