Davis at 10 months

This last week, Davis turned 10 months old.  He continues to grow and change every day and we enjoy all our time with him.

At 10 months, he can:

• Stand up without assistance on occasion
• Take several steps without assistance when sufficently happy and distracted
• Feed himself using a spoon (sometimes) and hands
• Throw a spoon 8 feet
• Cruise along the furniture at warp speed
• Sleep through most nights
• Recognize and respond to some language
• Use the sign for "more" at dinner
• Play peek-a-boo (hiding and finding)
• Bounce / throw a ball
• Eat a whole banana in one sitting
• Say "mama" (once)
• Tackle and head butt Domino
• Express preferences, likes and dislikes

Here are a few pictures of these.

We are still working with signs.  We are still working with "eat", "more", "touch-no", "cat" and a few other basic signs.  Hopefully we'll see him use them more over the next month and introduce some more.
