This past week has been full of many discoveries in Preston's world. Actually the past few days have been busy for things he's discovered. It all started last week when I put him in his Bumbo chair, his favorite place to be other than with mommy and daddy. I put some toys on the tray to see what he'd do. It didn't take long before he discovered that, not only could he grab them, but that he could fling them off the tray for a fun game of "Mommy, fetch!". That opened up a whole new world for him. He has since learned how to grab his pacifier and remove it from his mouth. This game started while we were grocery shopping and I was afraid he was going to throw it on the ground. But, his pitching arm hasn't developed yet so he just tossed it around his carseat (Phew, that was a close one!). This morning he worked on getting the paci back in his mouth. This will take some practice but he's off to a good start.
Yesterday I wore a sweater with big buttons. He was fascinated by them! He would stare at them, trying to tear them off. He was constantly grabbing at them. The best discovery to date, in my opinion, is his cough. This discovery came about sometime on Saturday. He would give a fake cough then look around to see if Rob or I noticed. If we didn't acknowledge him then he'd cough louder. That would be proceeded by a "courtesy chuckle". I've only heard him laugh a real laugh a handful of times. But, when we're being silly with him or he gives a loud fake cough, he gives a courtesy chuckle like he wants to acknowledge the action but doesn't think it's worth a full laugh. All of his discoveries are so much fun. He changes so much every week, interacting more and keeping us in stitches. Who knew having a kid could be so entertaining?????
