Some new skills

(I try not to think of them as "tricks" - too much like a trained seal or something)

Jonathan tried out some new moves today. He laughed out loud when he saw his favorite rattle, which is round and has a mirror on one side. He's doing very well with grasping it and waving it around, though I still have to wedge it into his hand. He's "talking" to his mobile quite happily. Lots of consonants in his babbling, including "g", "d" and "l". He's also learned to make a raspberry, although I don't think it's intentional! Finally, today was the first day he seemed to notice his feet, which happened while he was sitting in his Bumbo seat.

Daddy took off for class, but Joanthan and I went out to dinner with Tedra and Misha. They are going to babysit this weekend for us so we can maybe see "The Aviator" and get a bite to eat. He is so good in restaurants and never seems to cry. Long may it last.
