Getting a grip of the world..

All these shapes, they amaze me

when my fingers revel in autonomy

the magic of touch is a real blessing

the joy of licking is so caressing

with paper or fabric, more amusing

alas! a big hand is now aggressing

they dont let me grab what I want

holding and gnawing: wish I could flaunt

this nice little doll looks so close

can almost smell it with my nose

I wave my arm like tennis pros

I keep pushing hard with my toes

I keep hoping to see it come near

it is strange to see them all cheer

but this doll just seems to sneer

as if I am infringing on her career

It sure is still very frustrating when objects are so close but not reachable! I used to wonder why all these people around me keep moving around. I can see how much joy they must be getting, in grabbing things and tasting them. Ever since I tumbled over, all objects seem upside down but I am slowly getting used to it, since I love to wander my eyes around when on my tummy.

I will soon make a "moving" post and until then, I have to just lie and watch.
