I have hands? Where did they come from?

Atticus has recently discovered his left hand.

We were walking through my favorite paper store, Papersource, in Palo Alto, when Robby noticed that while Atticus sat in his car seat, he was staring at his hand under a blanket. He was moving it back and forth slowly & following his hand with his eyes.

Wow.

This morning, as we lay in bed, he stared intently at our hands. I was holding his left hand about 5 inches from his face, & we both watched his little pudgy fingers grasp my palm.

Atticus is also learning how to blow raspberries. I don't know where this term comes from - I just heard it for the first time last week. He blows his lips out and makes a sound like a motor. Our raspberries will shush him. When he pouts, he blows them unintentionally.

We love our starfish!
