We're Hand to Mouth These Days

On her 10 week birthday on Friday, Virginia suddenly discovered how much she could control her hands.  She had already used them to bat at objects, but she began to consistently control them and get them to her mouth.  She now loves to try to get her entire fist into her mouth at once.  She also grasps her rattle and brings it to her mouth.  It is nice that she can can more easily self-soothe now.

She continues to be an extremely social baby, spending much of her day playing the smiling game at whoever will engage her (which is usually me).  Next up - rolling over!  Virginia is just so close to rolling from her back to her tummy.  This is unusual because most babies roll from tummy to back first, but I have a feeling Virginia is going to be a nonconformist.  So far, she gets onto her side regularly, then teeters precariously close to tipping over.  No luck yet, but we think it will be very soon.
