The baby had me concerned today because although she sinkled throughout the day, she did not have a yump despite having had several meals of chickum and rice. One wondered what became of all that chickum and rice. Anyway, her usual routine is to sinkle and yump upon waking. Today, she sinkled but did not yump first thing, though she did come in a couple of times while I was in the shower to sniff at her pad. Alas, the baby did not commit then and did not commit anytime this morning. Upon my return this evening, I saw that she still had not yumped, and this made me a bit worried as I wondered whether she was 1) impacted or 2) left me a secret present somewhere soon-to-be-discovered. At first I thought I had smelled a present, but luckily it turned out to be the rotty garbee that I had yet to throw out. In any case the baby seemed otherwise healthy and happy, and her stummy did not make any funny sounds. All this added up to a happy baby and therefore a happy muhmuh. The baby did finally yump after sher ravenously consuming her chickum and rice dinner. She does love her chickum and rice.

Something else the baby loves... her toys.

Note her possessive paws -- two at once:
