    Loving this thread! Yes! Dd has likes to pick at things on my skin and often puts her feet on my throat (!) before launching herself backwards...she also talks to toys and plays with the pillows! Urgh! But I love kissing her little face once she's all still and peaceful.

    Yes! DD is 16 months and has been doing this for 3-4 months already. We co-sleep and I want to dismantle our bed and put the mattress on the floor, but DH won't go for it. It doesn't help that there is nowhere to store our bed in the meantime. DD has a little stuffed dog that plays lullaby music, which she likes to wave around and hit me in the head with (not deliberately). I think I scared her the other night when she hit me on the ear while I was asleep. I burst out into tears before I could stop myself. It took her a while to settle after that.

    DD outdid herself Friday night. There is a frieze that runs all the way around our bedroom halfway up the walls, so it runs just above our bedhead. DH and I had both drifted off before DD was asleep. I woke at 3am and she started handing me bits of paper. I looked up at the wall and she had torn off about a metre of the frieze! I'm not particularly attached to it, but our bedroom is the one room we had no plans to redo
