Facts about Davis

It's amazing to watch Davis grow and develop. The most exciting part of it for me is seeing his personality emerge.  Here are just a few little known (or well known and recapitulated) facts about our guy:

• Must have a toy in his hand at all times while on the move, good if he has a toy while not on the move as well.
• Loves the "Itsy-Bitsy Spider".  Favorite part of the song is "down came the rain".  He starts wildly waving his hands around when we get to that part of the song.
• Loves music!  As soon as we sing, shake a bell or he hears a song, he starts to move around and dance, no matter what he's doing.  He likes shaking rattles and bells.  Someday, we hope to get him a drum.
  
• Favorite games: hide-and-seek and peek-a-boo.  Tonight, we hit a new level of peek-a-boo/hide-and-seek.  He found me under a blanket and then he covered me up again!
• Likes books and is very helpful at turning the pages.  Favorite books: "This is my dance" (from Kindermusik class) and "Brown Bear, Brown Bear".
• Does not like to nap and possibly miss anything that might be going on.
• Holds one piece of cereal in his left hand, while he eats all the others..until the very end and then he finally eats it.
• Favorite Toys: Whoosit, Dino, Jack-in-the-box, and Bruce the Brown Bear.  This may be replaced soon with cart of toys and Rody the horse.
  
• Favorite Cat: Domino
• Favorite syllables: da, la, ra, and ba.  Mommy is still waiting to hear Ma!
• Favorite foods: For this category it's more appropriate to list foods he has disliked since he's liked most foods.  Dislikes: split peas and those green beans and rice Mom made from scratch one time.
• He loves to shake his head back and forth.  He's been doing this for a long time and John and I have never figured out what he's doing, but Sarah at daycare has started putting words in his mouth when he does it "Oh no you didn't!!".
