Hands

So, Hana found her hands on Sunday. Now, for those of you who don't have kids, this might seem odd, or make you wonder if my baby girl will be taking the short bus to school. But finding her hands is a BIG deal. You see, babies will sometimes see things near their face, but most of the time they miss a lot. As they get older, they start to focus better and then all of a sudden one day the sense something moving and then BAM they hit themselves with their hands. This usually happens at the same time that they figure out they can SUCK on their hand (or whatever you put in it). But when they actually move their hands into their sight range and realize that those things are attached to them, it is pretty amazing to watch. Madison never really payed much attention to hers, but Hana... She will sit there and just examine them for HOURS. Seriously. She mouths them and then looks at them and does this little inhaling squeal (which is basically a laugh but she hasn't quite figured out how to laugh yet).

It's amazing to watch them go from a soft warm human looking lump to a little baby... and beyond. And the realization that you have to not only care for them but teach them everything is very humbling... And I love it.
