Daley Ponderings

Noah has been so much fun recently.  I know I've said that before, but now he's initiating the fun, which is a new development.  He likes to dance, to bounce, to jump (with my help.)  He continues to like peek-a-boo, he loves to play the dropping game.  He even played it with himself the other day!  He had a magazine on the couch, threw it to the ground, giggled, picked it up and placed it back on the couch, more giggles, repeat!

Yesterday I felt the beginning of the upper left molar poking through.  He had a tough time last week, but is suprisingly fine with it for the moment.

He has different ways of saying "ma-ma" to designate different things.  Short m and a is for me, then with a longer mm and longer vowel sound, with differing tones of voice and inflection can also mean "more" or "milk."  I suspect at this stage I am the only one to understand the subtle differences, and even then I use context.

He can hang from a bar for several seconds, supporting his whole weight.  He also likes to grab my thumbs to pull up to standing from a back-lying position, without me holding him, only lifting.
