reach for the....little lion.

Harper is trying to reach for things! She loves her animals that hang above her in her bouncy chair and looking at them just isn't good enough for her anymore. :)

It's so incredible to watch the wheels turn as she reaches and when actually she touches it, her eyes get big like she has surprised herself. She tries over and over and doesn't give up easily and is seems like she tries to "aim" her hand, just can't quite control where it goes. She hasn't gripped anything yet, but we know she wants to. Her lion animal sings songs and purrs when the ring is pulled on and she smiles BIG when she hears it. We think she wants to pull it herself!!!

Scientists say some babies show dominance on which hand they will use from an early age. About a week ago Harper started showing dominance with which hand she reaches with.

Guess which hand she has been using?

Her LEFT!!!

Finally...something that resembles me. :) Let's see if it stays that way. My mom said I was left handed from the get-go.

Have I ever mentioned how absolutely incredible and rewarding it is to watch a human grow? It's the reason I've been involved with kiddos in some form or another since I was 12. But WOW, to watch your own child grow right before your eyes? I can't even think of a word to describe how fascinating it is.
