look mom - both hands!

because declan is our first child, i am very into the "week by week" books to make sure he is developing at a proper pace. it is fascinating how these authors always seem to be right on with most of the typical milestones: smiling, cooing, reaching, grasping, sleeping longer, etc. proudly, declan was early for everything furthering our notion that he is advanced and special. the only one he missed was noticing his hands by 10 weeks. i was literally placing his hands in front of his face, playing patty-cake, anything to get him to notice them! well, he noticed them this week and has more than made up for being late with this development as he now tries to shove both hands in his mouth simultaneously. it usually buys me 15 minutes of free time while he does this! it is very funny to watch.
