We got the first disc of season one of the Muppet Show from Netflix today, so we're watching it right now. We felt it's important to expose K to the classics early. She didn't seem terribly impressed with Kermit singing Lydia the Tattooed Lady, which surprised me a bit since she finds it hysterical when I sing it to her.

We're on episode two right now - it's a bit odd, seeing the early episodes of any show. They clearly haven't hit their groove yet, although a surprising number of the really classic bits are from the early shows. Manamana was the very sketch they did, for instance, and three or four songs from the Muppet Show album are from the first episode.

K reached out and grabbed something for the first time yesterday - her plush Tigger rattle. It took approximately three seconds to then put it in her mouth. Tigger didn't seem to mind. She had held the wing of her perplexing electronic butterfly (it lights up and makes noises. She regards it with utter confusion - that's my good girl), but I was never sure how much of that was actually deliberate grabbing as opposed to it just being near her hand at an opportune time.

Of course, after I got all proud of her for making such an important developmental step, I realized she had taken her first step down the road to the Holy Grail of babies and bane of parents - being able to grab our glasses.
