Eye Contact

Bella does not make good eye contact.  Most times she will look anywhere else but at you.  And if she does look at you it’s a fleeting glance.  Of course if you are not looking at Bella, that is the time Bella will watch you.  I don’t know if that is because she likes to observe without being watched herself.

We have to take a lot of pictures around here, to get good ones where Bella is looking at the camera.  Sometimes her face will be towards the camera, but her eyes are shifted off elsewhere.  And even if she is looking, her face has many expressions, most don’t photograph well.

She has gotten better at grasping at toys and objects, but she still will not actually look at the object.  She just reaches out with her hand until it touches something.

And once she drops a toy, she doesn’t follow where it goes.

We played a little with her potato family set I got her.

Yes, mom put them all together, but Bella got to pick out which accessories they would wear.

The huge difference we are noticing now, is if you put an object in front of Oliver, he will intently stare at it.  Bella will just try and pick it up without looking at it.

We would really like to work on at least making eye contact with people who speak to her, but since she doesn’t even always look at mom and dad when they speak to her, we might be working on this one for awhile.

But if you can get a smile or laugh out of her, it makes your day!
