These hands... they work!

The past week has been a frenzy of home projects... dry wall repair, painting, ceiling repair, landscape planning, insulation installation, electric re-wiring... you name it. But wait, don't be misled -- we were busy supervising, not risking our lives and home by messing with electric wiring we don't understand. By far the most complex project, and accomplishment, of the week has been Jonathan's. With the investment of loads of time and concentration he has transformed his little hands from pacifiers to operable tools for playing with toys. He stares so intently at them you can almost hear his little brain saying, "Okay, see that Zebra? Touch it. Go over there and touch that Zebra." Then the hand takes off, making contact with the Zebra about half the time. But he definitely has the idea. Here's a video of some of his best Zebra work:



Spin that toy!


Hands as pacifiers...


He's also learning to pull things to his mouth. You can see the drool of anticipation as he reaches for the frog's bucket, secures it between his chubby little hands, and gets it to his face for pure baby satisfaction!
