Mobile Magic

Ever since Derek was born we have had the mobile over his changing table. Whenever he is placed on the changing table he will squeal with glee! He smiles and laughs and gets so excited to watch the sports balls go around. Early on he learned to track the balls and follow them as they completed the circle above his head. Then he started batting them. Just this morning he began trying to grab them. He focused for a long time on the baseball glove (I think because it hung down the lowest). He would try grabbing it until it would pass his hands. Then he would turn his head and watch it until it was back where he could reach for it again. After the second diaper change of the day he got it!! He was so proud of himself and you could see the concentration in his face. Once he got the hang of it he went for the other sports balls. I love watching my son learn something new!!
