Long Distance Grandmas

All of Anders grandparents are long distance but we keep in touch via phone and Skype. Anders is surprisingly interactive. He shows off his toys both via Skype and on the phone, although he hasn't figured out that the person on the other end of the phone can't actually see whatever it is that he holds up to the phone.

I don't know what he's saying in this Skype session, but he is clearly communicating something.

He does well on the old-school phone as well. We have taken to turning on the speaker and just handing the phone to him. As you can see below, he'll carry it around and babble to it for a long time.

This video is even clipped pretty short; in the original, he was carrying it around the house for four and a half minutes. Let's hope that communications media are still unmetered when he gets to be a teenager!
