Exploring Textures, Patterns and Colors

Uncle Sean gave Aki Bear this toy:

It's called a Whoozit Whatzat by Manhattan Toy (they are also the makers of the wooden toy that he loves to kick and grab with his feet.) I call him Bob...doesn't he look like a Bob? We can hang him on the crib or from the handle of the car seat but we've been just plopping him in Aki Bear's lap because he loves to grab things and shove things in his mouth. (We've actually not used the little arch that goes over his bouncy chair because they do not extend to his mouth and he gets pissed off (as pissed off as a 4 month old can get.) He wants everything he can touch or grab to go into his mouth.

As we were driving the other day (well, I was driving, he was sitting in the car seat with Bob) it was getting close to his nap time and usually when he's tired in the car he'll cry loudly for 5 minutes max and then fall asleep. This time I noticed that he was intently studying Bob, looking at the patterns on the rings, putting the little heart and hand shapes in his mouth, touching the little mouth and plush nose. He then made a couple of tired squawks and the next thing I know, he's out like a light, hand firmly wrapped around Bob:

Thank you, Bob and thank you, Uncle!
