FFF: Skills

Here are a few fun videos of Enoch showing some of his newer skills.  It's crazy to think about how quickly he's learning things these days!!  More than ever, I'm so thankful that I'm getting to stay home with him and enjoy these days of my ever-changing, fast-learning baby boy, even when it seems that I don't get too many tasks from my todo list accomplished... maybe I need to start adding smaller everyday things to that list like feed the baby, practice standing, make lunch, play on the bed, make dinner, bath time, etc.  haha!!  Then I'd feel like an accomplished mama, right?  ;)  Seriously though, for me cutting down on "productivity" is quite worth it in order to be able to stay home and raise Enoch in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.


Sorry for the rabbit trail... And now, back to our videos:

This first video is from a few days ago.  Enoch is getting quite comfortable with going from sitting to laying in order to grab an object he wants.  As you can see, he doesn't quite have crawling down yet, but it shouldn't be too much longer (in my opinion) before this boy is completely mobile!  (And as a side note, these medium wooden blocks have been the best thing to help him with this skill because he loves chewing on them and holding them, AND they also roll really easily, which means that he has to reach farther to grab them when they escape and roll away, but because they're so fun he's willing to take more risks than he is with average toys.)




This video is one that I meant to upload a while back, but I just haven't gotten around to it.  :/  It shows Enoch turning the pages in a book (a skill he learned around 8 mos).  Sorry it's a little hard to see, but I think the little hand reaching to grab the page is still too cute, no matter how bad the cinematography!  :)  He can only do this with board books (he isn't gentle enough for paper books yet), and he usually waits for me to move my finger off of the right page and push it up just a little before he tries to turn the page (that's his cue)... usually.  :)
