The bunny’s early accomplishments

Yes, I call him Bunny sometimes.

For those interested in the play-by-play, I submit the following early accomplishments:

Last night, Rainer discovered my hair… or rather that he can grab it and hold onto it. I’ve been keeping my hair up during the day, but last night and this morning he hung onto it tightly.

Today he managed to hold the bottle I was feeding him by himself. I know it sounds crazy–he’s only three weeks old, but I swear he held it. He did have gravity helping him out a bit; the bottle was sort of balanced on his face in a way. Ez has witnessed similar feats.

He’s very fond of the play yard our friend Lisa gave us. He likes to bat at the hanging animals (he can’t really aim at any animal in particular, he just waves his arms around) and generally wiggle making noises and looking at things.

More updates soon, I’m sure.

    That last comment was Kim (I think)–not me! Though, of course, I agree. :)

    yay! I can’t wait to meet him. Also sorry I haven’t responded yet to your email. I loved all the details and planned to get back, but then I didn’t? oh well…

    We have that same play mat at my job. What does he think of the mirrors? :-)

    Sarah–You can respond to my email whenever. I’m curious to hear your thoughts given your job and your studies. Rainer likes the mirror pretty well. He especially loves looking around and batting the animals. He is learning and changing every day, so I’m sure he’ll continue to notice new things.
