Leah has begun reaching for and playing with things. You can see that her highchair is covered with brightly-colored fuzzy things and shiny-spinny whatzits.She has also started reaching for books as we read to her. Darcey says it's like she is trying to turn the page.
And for the first time in quite a while Darcey and I had the opportunity to visit Keefe and Ryan Harrison who live down the street. We have often gotten together for dinner or drinks since we moved in to our house, but haven't really had the chance since Leah was born. The Harrisons have two children; Etta is 3 and Miles is 1. Leah couldn't take her eyes off of Etta who, in typical 3-year-old fashion, was all over the place telling everyone about her toys and asking for people to come play games with her. And at one point, Leah and Miles sat on Keefe's lap and laughed at each other.
Darcey and I realized that we need to give Leah more stimulation, but I don't think we're sure quite how. I mean we have all of these brightly-colored fuzzy things and shiny-spinny whatzits, and Leah often plays with them while watching the History Channel (ask her about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln). How much more stimulation can you get?
