Dexterity

I've noticed lately how Cameron's hand-eye coordination seems to be improving. It wasn't long ago that he was only able to dump the rings off of the tower, or yank the blocks off his train. But now, he is, with intention, threading the rings and blocks back onto the dowels on the tower or the train.

He has other little mannerisms that are cute too. Sometimes we practice knocking on doors, and lately he's gone from using an open-palm approach to actually making a fist and using his knuckles like we do.

We also play a game with him where one of us will have a small toy in one hand, move our hands behind our back and bring them forward again with both fists closed. He will then point to one hand or the other and try to find the toy. Now I've noticed that he's started putting his hands behind his back and bringing them forward too. Only the toy is totally visible in his little hands, and we always get it right. ;)

Pretty much everything he holds goes behind his head these days, I'm not really sure what is so appealing about that. But it's pretty cute when he's laying on the changing pad and his hands go up and rest behind his head. Ah, diaper changes, so relaxing!
