At about this age (10 weeks old or so), babies start to discover their… feet! One way to direct attention to those adorable little tootsies is to put on a pair of brightly-colored socks, and help your little one find his or her feet.

I bent Veronika’s legs up, and happily crowed, “Pink socks!” She instantly was fascinated.

Babies love to reach for their toes, hence why they are so prone to pulling the socks right off and losing them! This time, I wanted her to do so. I loosened the sock slightly, and then it was just a matter of time before Veronika had a grip and… a bare foot!

Who knew socks made such great toys?
