Grabbing Things

The last week we've seen great strides in Dani's motor skills. She beginning to grab her feet. This in itself brought some mild humor to those of us witnessing the ordeal. She'd pull her legs in and put her hands out but didn't quite have the skills to do both at the same time so she could grab her feet. Those of us that have been around while this was going on have grabbed her feet for her and pulled them up to her hands and mouth. Just this morning she actually grabbed one of her feet but didn't hold it for long.

Yestday when Chris was toting her around the house she reached for an orange (Minneola Tangelo to be exact) sitting on the island countertop. She not only reached for it, but grabbed it. She wasn't able to pick it up or hold it, but she was able to grab at it with her wee tiny hands.

As you've seen before, her giggling and laughter has made us very happy lately. Her ability to follow conversation (stories, etc) has progressed as well. It's very exciting to see how well she's moving along!

Some of her more recent favorites:
Piggies (of course)
Mom's version of The Three Little Pigs
Watching the Wiggles
Dad (of course)
