Little Miss Grabby

She is really grabbing ahold of things now! Pretty cool. We've been putting her on her playmat with a few toys hanging down but they were a little out of reach. She occasionally would bat at them but quite by accident or seem to grab for them but not really get a grip on them.

Then I added a few more toys - 3 little monkeys that hang down a bit lower. She is grabbing them and actually hanging on to their tails, batting them constantly and making funny noises. She reaches up, touches one with her hand, pushes it into another one - she seems to realize the relationship between two objects and that you can push them together.

She still loves kicking while laying on her back - good for relieving gas.

She is chattering a lot more, too. Making a lot of big smiles, too, and not just when passing the gas.

I think she has also learned to stick out her tongue in response to us sticking out our tongue. She may start it, then we respond, then she sticks hers out again after a big smile. Or we'll start and she often sticks her tongue out in response.

I'm liking this more interactive version of baby.
