I you put your finger on the sole of a baby's foot the toes will instinctively try to grasp it, like a monkey. Incredibly cute but also fascinating.

I read a hypothesis that this is left over from when humans had a lot more body hair, and so having a grip reflex for both hands and feet is a survival trait that never had a real reason to die out. Aside from it being as cute as all get out.

My baby loves to kick and play with their toes more than their hands. The hands and arms are just too complicated to operate at 2 months (except for basic grasping)
