Day 168 15/12/11 Gripping hands

I remember when I used to worry about Michael not griping things. Those days have definitely gone now. WE have to be very careful when we're carrying him about because he is always on the look out for things to grab ( and hopefully suck to see if they have milk) He got hold of a Christmas tree the other day and nearly pulled it over. He loves Christmas decorations and often gets fascinated by them hanging from the ceiling in the shopping centre or wherever.
We have to be careful with hot drinks of course and also with plastic bags. Michael always gets there first when I try to pass Rocio something whilst she is carrying him. He is very fast and perfectly accurate in his arm movements. He's not perfect yet at organising his finger to hold and manipulated things but with all the practice he's getting it won't' be long.
