William has discovered his hands & feet and all they are able to do! It's so fun to see him learning new things. He is holding onto things we put in front of him and grabbing at things around him. A natural reflex babies have is to grab onto things put into their hands and near their toes (Bret calls this 'monkey toes'). But lately, he is choosing to grab onto things on his own, not just things put in his hands. Each morning, he spends time in his play gym kicking and throwing his arms around. His favorite toy right now is the green ball (see picture below)! He can hold onto it and shake it around. This highly entertains him and he laughs & laughs at himself while he plays. We are introducing a rattle to him right now for a new toy to play with. It's handle is thicker than the green ball, so it's harder to hold, but he tries. We shake it for him and he likes to watch it move. Another new toy is a noise maker/teether lovey, we just gave it to him yesterday. He sat in his bumbo chair and played with it for a bit. I think he mostly liked the noise. We also put a toy (sassy bug) by his changing table so he can bat at it while he is changed.
Usually his foot gets caught after some aggressive kicking & he tries to take the whole playmat down with it!
Caught my tongue!
Scooted himself all the way around!
