over the last month, odin’s, grabbing and grasping skills have really taken off ( unfortunately for kris, he appears to enjoy honing his skills by ripping out tufts of her hair. ) only a month ago, he’d occasionally grab and things that you dangled in front of his face, but mostly he just like to look at them – but no more! naturally, i guess, as he gets better and grabbing and manipulating objects, he’s moving along to the next stage which involves putting everything he grasps into his mouth.

so, to help aid him in both endeavors, we picked up a skwish classic from the manhattan toy company.

it has become an instant favorite and just might snatch “favoritest toy” status from the crinkley, orange book and the inchworm.
