flailing now
turns to
grasping

as hungry
hands curl
around

sound-rich toys
and smiles
show the world

that she will
hold it in her
fingers

very soon.

My womb just did a flip-flop in response to this delightful imagery! Babies! Please indulge more- babies give us the vision of miracles in everything that they do, no moment is wasted- each one worthy of being recorded. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, DBG. I have only photos and video clips at the moment but I am going to see her again next weekend. I can't wait!
