Learning to Grasp

The kids have been learning more about what their hands can do. They used to just bat at things, but now they are grasping and grabbing. They have been grabbing their burp cloths and flinging them on the floor. They pull on their bibs which get twisted around. And they still like to grab the hanging animals on their playmats (which they have not yet managed to detach). Sometimes they are REALLY funny!

Here is Gavin with his Pooh Bear rag-doll (we call it "Woobie").




Here he is grabbing the faucet during his bath - luckily he hasn't figured out how to turn it on!




Here he is with his yellow duck (and Nana Cermak) that the nurses at Edwards Hospital gave him when he had an overnight stay for his urinary tract infection. His first stuffed animal!




Here is Gavin reaching for Evie's ear...




He got her! He has done this before on the Boppy but I never was able to capture it. Oddly, she doesn't seem to mind it, even though her expression here looks quite surprised.




Here's a short video of the ear-grabbing:



Of course, Evie has to stand up for herself. Here she is giving Gavin a taste of his own medicine. He sure doesn't seem to like it!
