this one's for you mom...

my mom continually asks me if milo has discovered his hands yet, claiming that this was one of her favorite things that my brother and i did as babies: stare at our hands in beguiled amazement.

well mom, yesterday evening, while holding my finger in his fist, milo was staring at his hand. and he certainly had that look of wonder and confusion on his face.

"hold the phone here, folks, you mean *i* can CONTROL these things?!?! i move it up, it moves up! i move it to the side, it moves to the side! that's ca-raaaazy!"

it didn't last for very long; he soon got distracted by something, hunger? the cat? a burp? i can't remember, but it sure was fun while it lasted.
