Sensory experience

I found a fast no-cook playdough recipe that I thought Elijah might enjoy playing with while I made dinner. It was not a hit.

Exploring

Elijah loves to explore his environment:

Sand!

Back before the week of rain, when it was actually hot, we pulled out a container of sand for Elijah. His favorite activity is to carefully pull handful after handful of sand out of the container.

In, Out, On, Off

We have entered a phase of prepositions.

Elijah's turned into a busy baby who loves to take things in and out. He works hard at reorganizing his toys.

He also likes to pull things off of shelves, but sadly lacks the skill to put books back in their upright position.

Fine motor skills

Elijah has long loved to pull his shapes off the pegboard, and he has now mastered the fine motor skills to be able to put them on the board.

Makeshift walker

Elijah likes to take our dining room chairs and use them as walkers.

All Done!
