One of my favorite things to do is to turn on Will's mobile and watch him watch it. He concentrates on his favorite dangly character (the butterfly), and watches it go around and around. If you look to the picture, you'll see how he reacts to Mr. Butterfly. He gasps, he coos, he works his mouth like an old man sucking on his gums. He is trying SO hard to figure out this talking thing.
Lately, he has started reaching for the mobile. He either puts his fists up and waves them around like the Cowardly Lion ("put 'em up, put 'em up!"), or he puts his open hand up. Sometimes he seems like he's pointing at it. Look, Mom! Here comes Mr. Butterfly! He's the best!
Will loves his mobile so much that the music plays for 20 minutes or so before shutting off, and we usually have to start it again for about 5 minutes before he gets bored. What an attention span for an 11 week old!
