Simon is getting so expressive….both with his face and with his voice. He’s a charmer, and I just can’t get enough of his smiles or coos. Here are some of his funny faces from a tummy time session earlier in the week:
On a different note, Simon is really starting to notice more in the world around him. He has become more aware of his hands and arms, and regularly sticks his fist in his mouth. He has a soft froggy toy that he also loves to suck/chew/taste when he can get it close enough to his mouth. He has also been grasping things more. When I put a rattle in his hand, he’ll grasp it for awhile. He had never intentionally grabbed anything until yesterday. I think mostly he was just lucky in being able to get his hand in the right place. He definitely wanted the toy….and kind of jerked his body toward it. He arm shot out (possibly intentionally or unintentionally) and crazily landed on the toy. He then grasped it and picked it up off the floor for a bit. It was fun to watch:
Ooooo look at that! I want it!
Please, Mom, get if for me!
Woah! What just happened?
I got the toy! I got the toy!
