News Flash - Discovery of this Week

Suhaana is over 9 weeks now and the news flash about her this week's discovery is over due:
This week she realized that other than making her fingers dance there's more that her hands can do: she can roll her fingers around something and hold things!

As I see it, it opens up a plethora of new possibilities. She can now hold toys and reach out to her friends(monkey and frog). But instead of doing either of those things, she had a more important agenda for her newfound skill.

Lately I've been putting her in a sleep sack in the night, to keep her warm and cozy. It's actually quite big in size for her, which is good because it gives ample space for her legs to kick around and not feel trapped (its been discovered in no uncertain terms that she doesn't appreciate being constrained). But since the sleep sack is too big for her, the sleeves are too long for her too. Her hands used to get lost inside the sleeves. Up until she discovered her new skill..

Now, as soon as she's put in her sleep sack, she holds on to the cuffs for dear life. She doesn't let go of them, no matter what! She sleeps, wakes up, smile, coo, laugh, feed, hang out, but never lets go of the cuffs of the sleeves. Now that's more useful than running around trying to catch them rattle toys and dangling wannabe friends!
