Damien Discovers Some New Toys

Damien is now finally ready for many of the toys Momma has bought him. While he is still content to just lie on the couch on the boppy pillow and stare at the ceiling and gnaw on his hands (still his favorite toy by far), such simple pleasures only last so long. So, Momma has busted out a bunch of new distractions, er toys. Damien can grasp some toys in his hands and as soon as he does, he tries to put them straight into his mouth. But, he often smacks himself in the head with the toy, and just drops it and can't pick it up, so he gets a little frustrated at times. So these toys seem to have a little bit of shelf life as he will probably enjoy them more when he can controle them better.

Damien gnawing on Sophie, those ears sure taste good!

Damien nonchalantly knawing on Sophie's cousin Monsieur Champignon aka "Mr. Mushroom" - who Papa pointed out looks like a cross between a breast and a penis. Damien LOVES to chew on the nipple, er top of this toy, which is a little funny since he HATES all pacifiers (Momma has tried every brand in desperation!).

Damien putting up with tummy time. He is very intrigued by this rainforest waterfally soother toy, it lights up, moves, makes music and has nice texture. It has thankfully allowed us to extend the dreaded tummy time by a few minutes.
