Alexander has been having a great time discovering that he doesn't have to sit and wait for the world to happen - he can make stuff happen! He's made up a few games to play with Mom and Dad, and loves to see what kinds of crazy things he can make them do. And he's been having a great time playing in his gym - it plays music when he bumps the toys, and he's delighted when he manages to make that happen. He can't quite do it on purpose yet, but when his flailing hits one of the toys he loves to watch them move.
The other day I realized that if I put the bouncy chair into it's more upright position instead of the infant recline position, he can reach the toys on the hanging bar. The first time I did that I put Alexander's hand on the pull toy that plays music to show him he could reach - he managed to grab onto the bar and pull and start the music playing, and had a great smile and laugh of delight of "I did that!" He hasn't manage to do it again, but he can hit the jingle ball toy and make it jingle every once in a while, and he loves that too.
