Small, but powerful

I am reliably informed that a newborn baby's grasp is so strong that they can briefly support their own weight. Matthew and Sophie definitely have powerful grips and you can easily lift their upper bodies from your lap once they've grabbed hold.

I haven't the nerve to try lifting either of them completely off the ground, but I reckon I could still do so with Sophie, she being so light. Matthew, though, feels a bit too heavy now.

I just love the way they grasp my fingers...
