Just the Fax

Baby has discovered his hands! It's the cutest thing ever. He just stares at his right hand forever, wondering what it is and in awe that he can control it. He's slowly learning how to bring his fist to his mouth so he can suck on it. He's on his way to self-soothing!

I can't remember discovering my hands. Sadly, he won't remember either. I've just always known they were there, ready to help me move around. Right now, baby's all about his hands. He shows them off to us, as if he's the only one in the world who has em. And as far as we're concerned, he is. He runs the show!

If you think about it, babies are so much smarter than us grown-ups. I mean, they have to learn how to eat, breathe, see, touch, speak, crawl, walk, etc. It's so impressive! Their brains are literally sponges collecting all this information. No wonder he needs so much sleep! He's busy learning all day long!

Today, he's continuing to learn how to speak, he coos constantly. He's laughing - which is so cute it makes our hearts melt. He's practicing his tummy time to learn how to move his head upright, and he's busy trying to master his hand coordination! The fact that he is learning all this is amazing. The fact that he's developing each and every single day is such a big accomplishment! He's a busy little baby. Good for him - give the guy a hand!

As for me, hmmm, today I learned how to accept an incoming fax to our home line.

For baby - it's about the facts.

For me - it's just a fax.

See? He's the genius!
