discovery

As Eddie's mobility increases he is discovering more and more of his world at home. Over the past few days he has discovered the following: the air vents in the floor, the garbage can, the fireplace and the nozzle that opens the flue, the humidifier in his room, the humidifier in mommy and daddy's room, Marty's cage and the nylon straps on Marty's cage and the underneath of his crib, his high chair and kitchen counter stools. He has found a new appreciation/love for Marty as he can crawl over to her and grab her (surprising, he actually "pets" her and rarely grabs her fur hard) and sometimes she will respond by licking him and then he laughs. Sometimes she gets annoyed and walks away. He also likes our shoes and slippers, and since I view these items as being pretty dirty I try to make sure all the shoes are picked up and placed in a basket we have by the door. But I am sure that before long he will discover the basket too.
