One of Grady's favoriate things to do is lay on the floor and play. He is still getting familer with his toys and while he does not grasp to pick them up very well yet, if you put them in his hands, he can keep them there. The ones that rattle and shake are things that he just adores. Sometimes he gets so excited he will start moving his legs and arms so fast that the toys will fly out of his hand and over his head. Only once has he gotten so excited that he has hit himself in the face and cried. His favoriate toy by far is a plush square ball that has some rings on it and crunches if you touch certain parts of the square. Also, if you shake the square toy, there is a bell type sounds that rings and he can be entertained by it for hours. He also is a big fan of the rings that you connect. Basically...he loves to play.
Maggie is doing well with Grady. She still gets jealous and sometimes if she gets excited and he is on the floor, she forgets and almost stomps right on him. She does give him little kisses, but not often at all - she still is not sure of him. She will lay next to him sometimes because if there is a blanket on the floor, she is right on it! The blanket that he is laying on is the one from his crib set. Since he can't use it in the crib, we figured it would be good for floor time - and it's so big and soft for him. One thing that we have learned is to be careful about where we lay the pacifiers. Maggie has eaten one - not the part that goes into his mouth mind you - but the plastic part. Her tummy did not like that little secret snack. Good lesson for mommy, daddy and Maggie!
Here is a video of Jon playing on the floor with Grady. Hopefully it is not too dark and you'll be able to see him smile and hear him coo.
