She's got hands

So now she's got hands. Or she always did, but now she knows she's got them and she definitely wants to use them. If a toy or our hands are held in front of her, she reaches for them (in her disjointed way), grabs hold, and gives a smile. She particularly loves grabbing mom's shirt while being fed.

We got a new baby carrier, too. We were using an older Bjorn, but it was hard to get her in and out and even harder to adjust it to fit me or Jenny, depending on the user. Since she was enjoying the Bjorn so much, we decided to get a newer, more adjustable, and more comfortable carrier. The choices were many and most were expensive... we went with the Lascal M1 (no pics with her in it yet, but here it is).
On saturday morning, it was really warm here (+5C), so I strapped her in and took her down to Local Jo's coffee shop. It was an unqualified success. She loved it. She's really going to enjoy going for walks in this thing when the weather turns warmer.

In this video, she practices one of her new skills. She likes to grab hold of my hands and then pull herself towards me. Here it is:
