Critter wants to explore more and more. I don't stop him. I let him touch and hold things as long as there are no small or loose parts. He wants to grab EVERYTHING. When we're holding him and walking, he'll reach out and touch whatever is within reach; like an athlete slapping people's outstretched arms as s/he runs by. Whatever is in our hands, he'll grab and be persistent in getting it. I'll be changing his diaper and he'll contort his body and reach for whatever happens to be around.
BUT with this stage of exploring comes a price. I'll be holding my little Grabber kissing him and if something catches his eye and he has to have it, his arms will come up and push my face away while he leans forward toward the object.
I'm being pushed aside! My kid would rather look at the light switch than be kissed by me! He'll push my affection away to get to a red bowl. SIGH!
I know! I know! Not an appropriate song for a baby blog but a) it has Push in the name b) I like the beat
Is this better? (I wanna push you around, I will, I will)
or this
how about this? (don't push me so hard, don't push so far)
I know the feeling. We're call ours Princess Grabby McGrabberson. Oh, I"m with you on the shoving too. I get the shove every time I move in for a smooch followed by "the look" and then the, "O.k. fine, if you must I'll allow it- THIS TIME".
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how big your boy is already. He's absolutely adorable.
I know :-( Such a sad day when it first happened.
ReplyDeleteConsidering not too long ago, he'd just lay there while I devoured him with kisses and he'd have the biggest grin on his face. Now I'm in the way of him getting to a piece of lint.
I like that you put up videos. they're cool.
ReplyDeleteWait till he's a teenager.
