Exploration

Titus is learning to explore his world. It's such a joy to watch how his hands wander around when you put him down. We will lay him down on a blanket and immediately his hands will go out to his side and start feeling around. If he finds something (toy, chair leg, etc), his hands will explore it, feel around it, under it, etc. If it's a toy, he will pick it up and start to play with it - and like most kids, it goes straight to the mouth.

When we lay him down somewhere familiar (changing table or his crib), he knows. And breaks out in the biggest grin.

Lately, when we put him him to bed, he will lay there and play. Except that he's getting to so active, he kicks those feet up in the air and pushes himself around the bed. It's quite funny to watch and listen to.

He's also becoming more and more verbal. When holding him, if I sit him on my lap facing me, he puts his hands on my chest and just jabbers - quite loudly at times. And then he will look up at me and smile - he knows he has his daddy wrapped around his little finger.

Titus has an eye appointment this afternoon. His eye infection has not really gotten better after the antibiotics so we are taking him to the pediatric opthmalogist this afternoon.
