122 K. S. LASHLEY AND JOHN B. WATSON 



July 2j. Today the baby is very active again, never still a 

 moment, even when feeding. While on the ground he grasped 

 a piece of paper, pulling it back and forth from one hand to 

 the other. He finally dropped it and put his hands in his mouth. 

 He bites at everything within reach; probably cutting teeth. 

 He walks well although his hind legs are still weak. He tries 

 to climb to Dolly's shoulders but is not strong enough to lift 

 himself. 



He sits in front of Dolly, facing her, then rises on his hind 

 feet and thrusts out his hands against her. This is repeated 

 frequently. Once he fell over backwards. Dolly was excited, 

 ran to him, snatched him up and fled to the shelf. 



While he was on the ground she climbed up to the shelf, 

 stopping three times and looking back at him, as though coax- 

 ing him to follow. He put his hands upon the incline, but did 

 not attempt to climb up. After a short time he began to cry 

 and Dolly came down to him immediately. 



When he is on the ground one cannot make the slightest 

 movement without bringing Dolly to him, even when she has 

 seemed to be looking the other way. 



He found the wire on the water bucket. Grasping it with 

 both hands he attempted to climb up, placing his feet against 

 the side of the bucket. He could not lift himself. While Dolly 

 was looking in at the window he fell down and gave a faint cry 

 of fright. Dolly turned, reached him in two leaps, picked him 

 up, chattered at me, and fled to the shelf. 



August i. Fourth week. 



No new activities have developed during the last three days. 

 Feeding has caused Dolly to lose her fear of me. She allows 

 the baby to come quite near me, and only threatens when I 

 move. 



When he is on the ground he watches my movements almost 

 constantly, coming up as close to me as he can and standing 

 up against the * screen. His movements, reaching, grasping, 

 scratching, etc., are not very accurate. In grasping the thumb 

 is not apposed to the fingers, but the hand is used as a sort of 

 scoop, as is that of a raccoon. While he was near the netting I 

 thrust my finger through to him. He nosed about and bit the
