A belated list of developments

We've been busy here in the Naegle household.  John has been experimenting with new ways to streamline our meal preparations and so life has seemed a bit less chaotic during the week.  However, we like filling in less cooking time with more play time, so there still hasn't been much time for blogging.  There has been a lot of exciting new developments with Davis this last couple of weeks!

• Thursday when I picked Davis up from daycare he said ma-ma!
• Friday morning he took his first step!  
• He understands the word goodbye. Whenever you say goodbye he starts to wave.  The poor guy is going to be very confused about what it means though, since we're so excited to see him wave we say goodbye even if we aren't goodbye-ing.  (We're trying to limit it).
• There's a song he's trying to sing.  It goes 'deedle-dee-dee deedle dee dee'  etc. and whenever I sing him a verse he'll start saying 'dee dee dee dee'.
• He played peek-a-boo with us today! John will probably link to a video later.  For a while he's really enjoyed pulling scarfs off of our heads and today he kept putting the scarf on his head so we would pull it off...the results were amusing to say the least. 
• Davis is continually getting better at standing without support.  He now consistently lets go of whatever he used to pull himself up on and stands for a while before grabbing it again or sitting down.
• He's good at sharing!  We went to an indoor playground yesterday and he handed toys to other kids and last week he pulled out every toy from his basket and handed it to Dad.  
• He continues to be amazed with Domino and we continue to be amazed at Domino's extreme patience with Davis as he pulls his ears, tail, and feet and pets, smacks, and tackles him.  We do our best to control the interactions, but we have become quite comfortable with Domino's gentleness and calmness when it comes to Davis.  On the plus side, Davis is getting much better at petting Domino as opposed to just grabbing him.  Lilly continues to give Davis a wide berth.
