Grabbing Life By the Tail

Instead of just swiping at toys, Staley has started to try to grasp at objects.  This is still a very new skill, so she is generally not successful.  However, she is becoming pretty consistent at grabbing the tail "feathers" of the toucan on her play mat.  Although Jake and Elwood have recommended that we discourage any and all tail pulling, Staley is very proud of her new skill...and so are we. 

And judging from the smile on the toucan's face, I don't think he minds.
