hand/eye coordination

No theme to these pictures other than some inquisitive eyes. As a general update, Alden is doing great -- lots of sitting up, and everything short of crawling (squirming, shimmying, flailing). He still has no teeth, and is eating absolutely everything we offer him, and a fair amount of stuff we don't offer him.

As my mom pointed out, he is very hand-oriented. Lots of time spent staring at his hands as he flexes and spins his wrist, pinches and pulls. The other day, out for breakfast, he locked in on my hands watching them flex at the wrist, and became out of breath with excitement, as he then turned to his wrists to make them do the same thing. Small movement for mankind, giant leap for Alden.

We are still enjoying having Grandma Lois around. She has perfected his favorite animal sounds, other than the sheep which sounds haunted. Even still, Alden lights up around her . ..
