With Suhaana's new found motor skills of grasping, ideally several objects should have come under the danger zone. But that is not so. Actually most of the things in her life are still out of her reach. The jungle animals hanging from the mobile on her crib are too far for her reach. (She calls out and talks to them for a long time nowadays, before eventually getting frustrated that no one is responding back.) The butterflies hanging from her play-mat are too far for her to grab. The other soft toys are still a little too big and probably a little daunting for her to try and pack a punch.
But there're some things that fit in her arm's reach just fine. Her mom's nose, chin, cheeks and hair are a perfect match for her.
After a lot of research and experimentation on my part I had determined that babies are quite smother resistant. And Suhaana had been a very willing and sportive participant of all my experiments. But it was during one such session that she discovered that her mom's face n hair make for good grasping objects. Speak of unexpected side effects!
