Coconut, close to 9 months young, is now learned enough to (a) clap when particularly happy, (b) wave bye-bye when going out, (c) hit on nearest adult's legs when wishing to be picked up from the floor, (d) restrict crying to 15 seconds after a fall, and (e) grab planter soil and spread same all over the living room, as if she is still on the beach.
