The Amazing Grabbing Baby


In the past few weeks, Jamey has developed a habit of grabbing absolutely anything that is within reach.  If it is near him, he wants to grab it and not only that, he REALLY wants to try to stick it in his mouth.  Doesn't really seem to matter what it is; Jamey figures it must taste good.  Whether it is his burp cloth, the cord for the vacuum, a telephone cord, or just simply his entire fist, he is up for trying anything.  And while he doesn't seem to understand that you can't just eat any old thing, he has caught on to the fact that this stuff that Glenn and I are sticking in our mouths, is most certainly tasty.  

Often when we eat dinner, Jamey demands to sit on one of our laps.  So, naturally, we have become multi-taskers, capable of holding him on our laps as we eat with the other hand.  The other night, Glenn's salad bowl was within reach, and Jamey dipped his hand in to feel the slimey salad dressing.  And then, when we ate out at Corner Bakery, the plate was within reach and he slowly began hitting at the plate and moving it closer to the edge.  I didn't think I had to watch out for this stuff for another few months!  

Jamey is especially fond of giving his stuffed animals "kisses."  When laying on his back, I frequently sit his stuffed giraffe Carter on his belly.  He quickly flashes Carter a smile, reaches up and grabs her neck.  And then, he gets a little fresh with Carter.  Like I always say, "He is a big flirt."

I definitely don't know who "William" is but I think that it is just some automated thing that takes a sentence from my blog and puts a comment up for advertising purposes, because what he wrote is a sentence from my entry with the word "kids" put in for "Jamey"
