A New Trick!
Robin has been enjoying this playset his Auntie Nina sent for some time:
If we lay him down right, he can kick the struts and make the hanging toys shake. This is good for nearly a half-hour’s entertainment every day. But yesterday, he actually reached up and grabbed the little ducky! Yes, that two-headed mutant spotted ducky right there in the photo! He reached up with both hands and carefully patted it for several minutes! His father and I are predictably delighted with this new display of manual dexterity. Our clever baby is figuring out that hands aren’t just for sucking on!

oh, how immensely gratifying! *is immensely gratified* and i see the ring system will enable you to swap out the grab-objects for when his tastes change and he’d prefer, say, a Nano…
good job on the mutant bird grabbage, little guy. very clever. hands are for thwacking, too!
