Giggles has changed alot in the past few days. She is now grabbing toys and putting them in her mouth. Her aim is not perfect, but she is usually happy with the results.

So far, she can’t handle “heavy” toys and can really only do this trick with the light Link-a-doo rings. We are working on her holding onto her bottles too. Pookie and Geetle learned to hold their own bottles by 6months, so we hope the same for her. I was VERY motivated to teach Geetle and Pookie, since its hard to bottle feed twins at the same time. But its a good skill for any baby! We use the AVENT bottles with the handles. They are sold for the AVENT Magic Trainer cups, but they also fit on the bottles. So far, she can’t hold the bottle, because she gets excited and pulls the bottle down towards her chest. But, we will keep practicing.

This is a fun stage because its the first time it seems like she is actually playing with her toys. She seems really interested in holding the rings and cries when they drop. She also likes to grab her soft pink bunny and pull it into her chin…probably an attempt to eat it, but one that does not work because she does not like the sensation of sucking on fabric.
