Tags Taste Good!


Lately, Collin is fascinated with tags....tags on stuffed animals, tags on toys, tags on blankets, tags on clothing....you get the picture. Whenever he sees one, he instantly focuses on it and forgets about what he was doing before he saw the tag. He then is focused on putting it in his mouth (nothing new there) so he can chew on it. When he does this, he cannot do it quietly. He "talks" and chews at the same time. He also throws in a few squeals of delight that he found the tag.

The tags are not usually laying right by him. He has figured out how to roll toward the tag until he can get it. If he is on his back, he will roll over onto his tummy and then pull the blanket until he can get to the tag on the blanket. If it's a tag on a toy (like his bear rattle), then he turns on his belly until he can get to it. Why does he need toys, when he has tags?

Collin is not still when he is awake. He is a very active baby. Even when he is eating, his hands or feet, or a combination, are always moving. One arm usually is slapping up and down until he finishes the entire bottle....he does not take a break from doing it either. If you hold his arm to stop moving, then he will start kicking his legs. Even when he is sitting after eating, he is not content to just sit there. He has to be grabbing for a pillow, toy or whatever is within his reach. If there is nothing available to play with then, he will fall forward to his toes and start to suck on them. If he is not interested in that, then he will roll over and lay there for a few seconds before he figures out what he wants to do next. I will have no problem losing my pregnancy weight once I have to start chasing after the little guy when he starts crawling. I think we are ALL in trouble!
