Everything the Hungry Mouth does, she does 100%.
While feeding or sucking her thumb, her toes and even her ears wiggle happily, her eyes close in bliss, she may pause to sigh contentedly, and her back curves into a banana shape.
While sleeping, relaxation is complete, limbs are splayed out.
While playing Flying Baby, she squeaks with joy, wrinkling her nose and curling her fingers, and aerodynamically extending her legs.
While screaming, her face goes crimson, her fontanelles pulse, her whole body tenses and flails.
While straining to poo, she gets a look of deep concentration, and grunts. Hnuuur! Splurtle!
While being changed, she wiggles her feet and arms like an upturned beetle, making a 'wiswiswis' sound of pleasure at having her bottom polished to a shine.
When last did we savour any experience totally in the moment? We're always thinking about what's next...
