Ben: active legs & video

Posted by spots (Singapore, Singapore) on 22 July 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

About a week & a half ago, Ben discovered he had legs! It's very cute when babies do this - for Ben, he had this look of puzzlement when he accidentally grabbed his feet one day. "What's this? A limb I never knew about?" Since then, he's been trying to grab his feet quite a bit, though he doesn't succeed all the time because his arms are not fully "in his control" yet.

Anyway, the other thing about Ben's legs... is that they are very active! He's always moving them! In the pram. In the seat. When he lies down. During tummy time. They seem to move without him even knowing it, as if they are separate entities?! This is a definite difference from Dan, who was more alert & excitable overall, but did not use his legs as much. A few days ago, while Husband was out, I put on some music & Ben started kicking and flailing his legs actively - it was so funny! I caught this video of it - watch this and enjoy!
