I Have TWO Little Hands

Brianna has discovered her hands . . . and her fingers.  Yesterday I went up to mom's room to get her and change her diaper and feed her and Mom told me to just watch her for a minute.  She went to put her hand in her mouth like she always does and then stopped short. She looked at her hand and slowly moved each one of her fingers and just stared at them.  It was like she had realized for the first time that when she moved her arm, that thing in front of her moved.  And when she moved her fingers, those things on that thing in front of her moved.  It was truly fascinating!  She repeated it a few times in the five minutes I was standing there, but Mom said she had been doing it for quite a while.  And Gramma was getting QUITE a kick out of watching Brianna discover . . . Brianna.  She kept telling her - "Those are Brianna's hands!  Brianna can do that, Brianna can move them!  Yeah - see?  Those are Brianna's hands!"

It was also super cute that five-year-old Madison followed up Gramma's cues by telling her, "Yeah - those are Brianna's hands.  And you are Brianna!  See?"

Oh discoveries and entertainment all around.

I am sure this is probably a developmental milestone - but I don't know much about that.  I just know that it is really cute and really fun to watch her discovering these things right now!
