I like to watch Akemi wake up. As she's falling out of sleep, she stretches her arms and legs out and across in mysterious positions. Her facial expressions make you think that her limbs are being controlled by her cheek muscles. Then she will start to open her eyes, usually her left one first. When she's good and ready, she'll open both up and look around. Most of the time when I'm holding her she will start crying.
I believe this is a form of Tai Chi. She builds up chi to prepare for the waking world, and then she jumps into action with a big kiai. My daughter the Tai Chi Master! Or maybe she just wet her diaper and wants a change...
