Got this in my email box this morning regarding development of 5 month olds:
"You've got to hand it to your baby — his hand control is definitely improving. You may see him rake objects toward himself and try to pick them up. Most 5-month-olds grasp an object for just a short while and then drop it. Yours will spend a long time doing this over and over if you play along by picking up the objects and handing them back."
Rake? Try? Drop? Are you kidding me? This kid has a vice-grip on her toys and can roll around on the floor while holding on to them. She's even more determined if the object is something you don't want her to have, like a tissue, your shirt, the remote control, or your cell phone. She can grab her binkie from afar and put it in and out of her mouth. If by "drop" they mean fling forecefully across the room in tantrum, then perhaps we're on track.
