Everett is figuring out that he can hit things with his hands now! I think he's been trying to reach for stuff but you just can't tell if it's him doing it consciously or subconsciously - until yesterday! He was lying on the floor on his activity mat (favorite activity of his) and I turned around to find him actually hitting the toys that were dangling above him! I quickly grabbed the camera and caught him doing this for a second time.
Speaking of his hands, not only has he become more able to put his hands in his mouth, but he now can keep them in there long enough to actually suck on his hands. I can see he'll probably be sucking on his thumb soon too. He also spends some time wringing his hands together. I read a quick stat yesterday that infants his age spend up to 2/3 of their waking day playing with their hands. He's realizing more and more about the world around him and it's exciting to watch!
