new tricks: high five & waving

high five
Thomas has been giving us high fives for the last two weeks. He really caught onto this one quickly. If he's in his exersaucer, he'll high five you and turn to run, laughing the whole time. I'm not sure why he finds it funny, but he does.

waving
Last night I first noticed Thomas waving (at the ceiling light fixture in his bedroom) and today his dad saw him waving at the flickering flames of the fireplace. It was almost as if he were reaching and trying to grab something. A few hours later, he waved out the window so we practiced his new trick this afternoon. Again, this isn't the "parade wave" with the hand waving back and forth, but the "opening and closing of his fist" sort of wave. It seems like a difficult movement for his age, but it sure is fun watching him do it. Now I just need to get him to say "bye bye" while waving.
