Tactile baby

So, BW is a very tactile baby. We call her our "thinker" and she is very inquisitive. If she sees a different pattern on a blanket, she'll touch it, she'll see if it comes off. She tries out moving pieces on all toys very deliberately - she doesn't swat at things willy-nilly and discover they make noise - she carefully "tests" them to discover what they do. It's actually pretty darn cool to watch. Lately, she has taken to flicking her fingers over objects to discover their textures - this includes fabric, facial hair, and vertical blinds. She is fascinated by discovering that different things make different noises. It is pretty cool to watch. 

And just so I don't leave SB out of this post - SB gives the best hugs. Seriously. Arms wrapped, legs wrapped, head snuggled, whole body hugs. They are awesome. She will also give a face/head hug, where she concentrates her affection to the recipient's head/face. As these typically involve a lot of hair grabbing, sharp baby nails, and baby drool, they are slightly more painful and gross, but still awesome.
