Naps and Nipples: June 13th

June 13th-Shake, Rattle, and Roll

For most of the day, Dominic was Mommy’s little wardrobe accessory. He was completely attached to me. He didn’t want to be left by himself at all. He wouldn’t sleep unless I held him, and going to the bathroom was a chore. Later in the evening during Daddy time he would just stare at me and didn’t want anyone but Mommy. The Daddy did get him out of his “all about Mommy” mood when he started playing with the rattles.

After the sound of the rattle really had him interested we decided to let him try playing with the toy that he was so concentrated on. We put his hand on the rattle and he soon realized that he was able to wrap his hand around the part we gave him, so he did what any curious baby would do and got a good grasp on it. After he took hold of the rattle he seemed completely lost so Daddy instructed him to “shake it” and then used his own hand to make the motion needed to shake the rattle. Dominic didn’t take very long at all to realize just what was expected of him and before we knew it, he was wiggling his arm with all of his might and causing the rattle to make as much noise as his little arm could possibly produce. This went on for quite awhile and with 2 different kinds of rattles before he finally decided his arms just couldn’t take anymore. He continues to grow, learn, and impress us with every passing day.
