Rafa has discovered a way to stand "mommy hands-free". When he drops his ball or toy, he feels his way to a squat to grab it, and then stands again. He can't get enough of his new balancing act!
New words in English! I've only been listening for the Spanish words, but Rafael insists that we drive in the "car" and that he plays with a "ball". Playtime with Auntie Laura, Auntie Caitlin, and Grammy Nancy is working!
