Communicating!!

The Baby Hero learned how to sign "more" last week. We are very proud of him!! Once he learned how to do it, screaming at meal times is obsolete! Needless to say, we are very happy there is no more screaming.

He now does it outside when he wants to keep swinging, play in the bubbles, keep walking, or whenever he sees food. He pulls me over to strangers who are eating or friends and signs more and looks up at them adorably, hoping for food. He usually gets it and I try not to feel horrible for not feeding him enough. But he'll leave my food and go get someone else's food. Even if it's the same type of food. I guess the grass is greener on the other side!

Yesterday he learned 'Please' but that one is very haphazard. As you can see from the video he didn't want to do it. He is also good at saying "Hi" when he waves! He is growing up!

New Skills

The Baby Hero has some new skills he learned yesterday. He is proudly showing them off.



He has been trying to do this for a long time. He could get to the next stair but never figured out how to stand up to repeat the process. I have to confess, I was comfortable with him not being able to climb. Now I get to watch him and listen for him...because he hasn't figured out how to slide down the stairs. He thinks he's big enough to walk down the stairs...

Dogs

The Baby Hero loves dogs. I'm starting to get really worried that all he's going to do is ask for a dog. I don't want a pet. But he's really cute right now. Whenever he sees a dog, or hears a dog he begins to "bark." He goes, "wOOOof" He perks right up and starts trying to go over and approach the dog. Mom always makes sure that it's a friendly dog, and if it's okay to approach the Baby Hero comes right up next to it and starts laughing his head off. If he's lucky enough to be licked then his day is made. He doesn't touch the dogs, just barks at them and laughs when he's close.

Baby Hero spent the majority of the time pointing at the camera. We have lots of pictures of his hand showing us the camera. He was fascinated by the black lens.



Pretty much, we're adorable!
