Toys

Friday we drove to the coast for the weekend, our first multi-day trip with baby, and our first trip over 20 miles since baby. When we arrived, Karston started to focus on the plush toy attached to his car seat handle! This is the first time he has noticed any toys! Daddy gave him a rattle to grip about a week ago, and Karston thought it was a fine time to throw his arms wide and, oh, send that rattle flying. This evening he noticed that his toys move when he flails around. He knows he has legs and feet, because he'll pull back the foot that you tickle and he loves to stand (Elvis), but he doesn't seem to know he has arms and hands. When he notices his toys, he's really fascinated! I'm sure flailing for toys will be how he discovers his arms and hands. It's remarkable to watch his brain make these connections!
