Play time!

Andrea is having a lot more fun these days – she figured out how play with her toys all by herself. She will reach for a  rattle, pick it up, and shake it. She then usually tries to shove it in her mouth and gum it to death. She also can pass toys from one hand to another. We have noticed that she often grabs for things with her left hand, so we are wondering if she may be a leftie like her Uncle Thor?!?

Yesterday, we went in the tub and I showed her how to splash the water with her hands. She caught on quickly and LOVED this new trick. She sat and splashed and splashed for a long time and was sad when “tubby time” was over. I also held her sort of floating on her back and she would pull her feet up to her chest and then splash them down into the water.

She also grabs at her toes ALL the time now. In fact, I think it’s disrupting her sleep because the first thing she does when you lay her on her back is start swinging her legs up and down trying to get a hold of her feet.  This also causes her to kick the tray on her swing a lot, and she gets mad that it is blocking her from reaching her feet. Her toes were apparently quite an exciting discovery for her.
