Grasped An Object?

I keep a daily calendar for Adam's first year just like I did for Owen.  It comes with these little milestone stickers like "first tooth" "said da-da" "ate solid food" -- and I hate them.  I hate these entries in their baby books too.  Because....when kids start doing something, it's usually not very convincing at first and I never know if it "counts" enough for the books.  Rolling over and walking is sort of the only thing that is black and white. 

Right now, I'm looking at the one titled "grasped an object."  Adam has been spastically reaching for things lately and if his hand happens upon something graspable, he grasps it.  But it's not like he's seeing something he wants and going out to purposely get it.  Do I say he's grasped an object?  Or do I wait until I hold something out to him and he takes it from me?  Whatever...I'll just blog that he's kind of grasping things and then it's documented.  Here he is trying to get a piece of his cute little giraffe toy.
