Our motor baby

Vera has been working on lots of motor skills the past few days; She has been trying to put her hands in her mouth and reach for toys, she's been doing great at tummy time, and of course, she continues to bicycle kick constantly when sitting in her bouncy chair (I'll get a video of this one of these days - she used to do this in my tummy, too!)

Here is a video of her from today, trying to grab a toy I'm holding in front of her. It may seem that she hits it just by chance... But, take a look at her face - that's INTENSE concentration and persistence! At times, it looks like she's trying to use every muscle in her body to get that toy! After this video, she continued to hit the toy, time and time again. She got a lot better at it even within a few minutes of starting to try for it.
