Handy tricks

Her hands have become noticeably more versatile lately. She reaches for and holds onto things much more easily. She will lie in her stroller or on her playmat and hold a toy in one hand, sometimes in both, manipulating it comfortably: turning it around, squeezing its legs.

Tonight after we changed her diaper, she grabbed the corner of the cloth she was lying on and rolled over onto her tummy, wrapping it around her in the process like a superhero cape. Now that was cute!

Another recent hand trick is useful when we dress her. After we've pulled the outfit over her head and body, she will push her hands out into the sleeves. She can't usually manage to get them all the way through, but that's what Ima and Abba are for! It's much easier than having to push her arms all the way through the sleeves (or the other way around).
