I’ve been more grabby lately. I grab onto things when they come near my hand. So when Mommy or Daddy is carrying me, I often grab onto their clothes. They seem to like it. It makes them feel needed, I guess.
What they don’t like is when I pinch. It is still a grab, but in a more sensitive location. For Daddy, I often accidentally grab that bit of skin right where his armpit meets his chest. It is loose enough for me to get a really good grip and sensitive enough to cause Daddy to yelp. Don’t believe me? Test it out yourself. Pinch and pull. Hurts, doesn’t it? Now imagine it being pinch by tiny, but vise-like, chubby fingers operated by a baby boy who doesn’t know his own strength. Ouch!
