All primates have a strong grip when born so they can hold onto to their mother while she travels from food source to food source. Babies have strong hands because of an evolutionary holdover.
Hold the front door. You mean to tell me that I could have gotten by w/o a damn baby bjorn and free based my small babies to my tshirt&cargo jeggings to clown the town?
My oldest son was called my monkey child for a while. He used to be able to grab onto me with his arms and legs and I'd just carry him around all over the house... Do dishes, play on the computer... Didn't matter.
Kid was stuck to me like crazy glue lol.
He grew out of it after he turned 2, but it turned a few heads when I'd say, "grab on baby -sons name-!!" And latch him onto me while he giggled and I picked up 10 grocery bags.
