Nice Hands

One of my favorite times of day is first thing in the morning. Mom gets up and feeds Caleb before she gets ready to go to work. Sometimes Caleb plays in the bouncy seat while Mom gets ready, but sometimes I wake up and play with him. Mom took this picture this morning of Caleb and I hanging out in the bed together. Once school starts next week, Mom and Caleb will bee getting up so early to head to school that I may not get to spend as much time with Caleb in the morning and that makes me kind of sad.

Caleb is growing more accustomed to spending time on his stomach. He spent a lot of time on his stomach today both in Mom's office and again at home tonight. The jungle gym
in particular is designed for stomach play and has some things to entertain Caleb while he plays on this stomach. Tonight he seemed to be looking at himself in the mirror on the jungle gym.

Caleb is also getting better at grabbing smaller objects. Lately, he has been fidgeting with his pacifier while he sucks on it. Sometimes, he pulls it out of his mouth and he has even pushed back in if he dropped it and his hand was nearby. Tonight, he pulled the pacifier out and held out to it, waving it around. At one point, he but it back up to his mouth, but he had it backwards, so it wouldn't go back in. It shouldn't be too long before he is capable of taking in and out of his mouth at will.
