Is your baby reaching for things?

According to the 3 month milestones K should be reaching for things. I know I should use her adjusted age, but I want her to catch up! (she has reached all her adjusted age goals on time)
She is very interested in her hands! She holds them together all the time and is just starting to get them into her mouth. But she still doesn't reach for things.
So what is your LO doing?
Thanks Ladies?

Re: Is your baby reaching for things?
DD gets her hands to her mouth but I haven't seen her hold them together yet.
She also bats at the toys hanging from her playmat and bar on her bouncer, which I was really very surprised at! She's been doing that for about 3 weeks now which I think is pretty early/young. She also smiled and coo'ed very early, too.
Edited to add: not reaching for things yet, save those hanging in front of her face which she just will bat at.
She just started reaching for things.
Try not to compare your DD to other kids. It will make you crazy.

Same. He does suck on them a lot, but I think that might be more "Oh hey, these flailing things somehow found themselves near my mouth! Sweet!" rather than intentionally sticking them in his mouth.

Yes. She loves her hands. Eliza is so cute with her dangling toys. The other day while I was at Joanns she grabbed onto the foot of her bird that I attached to the carseat and held on throughout the store. All the way through cutting the fabric, checking out and walking to the car. It vibrates when you pull on it so she just holds on.
DH said yesterday that he made her hold onto her bottle and she held it in place until it was empty.
She's not doing any of the big things like rolling yet though. So I'm anxious for those things to start.

He can hold onto things and toys if I put them in his hands, but he doesn't reach for them on his own yet.
I think it'll be a big deal to me when he can!
M reaches for things and can sometimes successfully grab them if they aren't moving too much. He even managed to get my hoodie strings the other day. He can 100% of the time get his hands to his mouth.
He is currently obsessed with his feet and tries to suck his toes all the time. But he hasn't realized he can bring his feet to his mouth so he tries to bring his mouth to his feet. Which is hilarious because he bends completely in half to do it.
