New tricks, part 3

Zachary's latest feats of genius:

• blowing - like on food, or the mobile hanging above his crib
• crawling up and down stairs appropriately
• recognizing the sound of an airplane flying overhead
• figuring out how to change the music on his crib aquarium
• realizing that he has to step OVER a garden hose that is in his path - not trying to walk thru it (it was about at his knee level)
• beginning to wave bye-bye...tho admittedly, rather late (like after the person has already left)
• signing "more" with regularity...in fact, I think he may think it means "food"
• standing unassisted whenever he's not aware of it (and immediately sitting down when he notices what he's doing)

He's also LOVING tromping around the irrigation ditch in the backyard. We spend hours (well, it seems like it) walking up and down the ditch banks, into the ditch and out of the ditch, occasionally picking up pinecones to examine. My back isn't loving it quite as much as he is...
