Feet!

For the first time we know that our 9 week old son has discovered his feet.  He may have discovered them before this, but finally we have evidence.  We knew when he had discovered his hands because he would hold his little fist in front of his face, stare at it admiringly, move it, then stare some more.  His feet are harder though just because they are harder for him to get in front of his face.

However, lately Callum has enjoyed being propped up on the couch in a sitting position.  The hilarious thing about him enjoying the position is that now when he is laying on his back he tries to sit up but lacks the balance or muscle strength to do so.  The result is him lifting his head and his shoulders a tiny bit while he makes a weight lifter's face and his eyes show intense concentration.  But back to the point at hand.  We have started noticing that while sitting propped up he will suddenly lock on to his feet with his eyes and start slowly and reverently leaning towards them.  The major problem is that he lacks the balance and coordination to pull away from his prop without slumping to the side.  The end result is a child laying on his side on the couch in a C shape staring intently at his toes.

All in all it makes me wonder what I should still be amazed at.
