With more control over my hands, I spend more time playing by myself. I grab my toys, chew on them, flail them around, and things like that. Mommy and Daddy love watching me play on my own. Every so often I catch them watching me and flash them a smile.
But there are also other times when I see them and I have a sudden urge to be picked up and I start fussing. They are happy to oblige, but I think they rather get the smiles instead of the fussiness.
