How to pick her up?

Just curious about what are everyone’s favorite ways of picking up your tiny lady friend! Or conversely for us little ones, your favorite way of getting picked up by a giant?
Things like - voluntarily walking onto an open hand? Pinching her torso between two fingers? Scooping her up into the palm? Wrapping fingers around her entire body? Grabbing the leg and dangling her? Forcing her to climb up the length of the body to reach the hand?
Or any other way I’m not thinking of right now! I suppose it would also make a difference depending on her size. Maybe a fist around the waist or gently pinching her entire body between finger and thumb might be more appropriate.
I think for me it’s either getting scooped up into the palm or having fingers wrap around me like a big, warm hug.
My go to is to just slip the palm of my hand under her bottom and allow my fingers to curl around her pelvic bone, with my ring finger and pinkie finger pressing her upper thigh. The pad of the thumb is gently pressed against her tummy, just below the navel. Not too hard, just enough to provide a firm grip.
If she’s a little frightened or isn’t feeling secure, she’s likely to steady herself by placing her hands on your thumb and a fingertip. Which is just adorable…

@littlest-lily I honestly am indifferent to how I am picked up. The exceptions are hair because my hair isn’t super long and it hurts and by the head because I worry my head will be ripped off. Though about the one where I am dangling from one leg, I do like the position very much, but I don’t like to be held in that position for too long, my blood needs to go back to my body.

Don’t worry, it’s only funny for about half a minute.
(Until the next time.)
