Little Big Changes

It's amazing how many seemingly small developmental changes occur in a baby's life. These developments are easy to miss, but once you notice them, it's really amazing to think about how their brains are developing. For example, Wyatt like to lie on the floor on his mat and play with his dangling toys. In the beginning, his hands were always closed in fists and his basically hit at the toys. Now, we've noticed that his hands are open more and he really reaches for the toys in an attempt to grab them and hold them. His success at this task is made easier by having open hands.

Wyatt is also more cognizant of his own hands. Babies do want to put everything in their mouths and the constant tongues going in and out is a clear indication of this need. Recently, Wyatt has developed the ability to actually bring an object to his mouth with his hands. Birb cloths, bibs, and any other type of fabric he can reach it pinched between his hands and lifted to his mouth for an oral examination. It is amazing how intrigued he is by this ability and how busy he's kept with a piece of fabric!
