She's good with her hands

Dexterity: readiness and grace in phyical activity, espcially in usuing the hand.

Naomi tried to grab my brownie the other, a key indicator that she is ready to start more solid foods. But she is reaching for other things too: my glasses, my earrings and necklaces, bottles of water, books, and worse my nose and my skin, etc. I keep asking her, "What are you doing? You don't even know what that is." And she loving responds by grabbing for the object again -- "I know mommy. That's why I'm curious."

Occasionally I read What to Expect the First Year, so I can get an idea about Naomi's progress and what she should be doing from month to month. Right now, she is increasing her dexterity. She loves wrapping her little hands around things, shaking rattles, tossing Tweety, pulling on the legs of a certain polka-dotted puppy, and petting her horsey-giraffe (it's not quite a horse because it has those little things atop its head that giraffes have, but it's not quite a giraffe because its neck is too short.) What will she find next?

Not one, but two
By the way, I had planned to post pictures of Naomi's teeth, but they are on the bottom row and you can't see them unless she laughs or cries. Neither emotion allows me enough time to capture a picture. Plus, I'm worried about putting the camera that in her face. And it's two, not one.
