Wow!

Adam is getting more and more expressive all the time. He has picked up many new words, and uses his hands more while communicating. Among his new favorites are: wow and dog. It is so cute to observe him when he gets excited and says "Wow". When he helps to feed the dogs, or if we see a dog on an outing, he will repeat over and over "dog, dog, dog". You know he really likes something when he uses the sign language sign for "milk". We use this sign for nursing mommy's milk. It has become his stamp of approval: This is as good as Mommy Milk!

I'll Cheer You Up Daddy

Daddy has been very sick with the stomach flu. As Adam saw Daddy was taking a bath he was very adamant that he needed to join him. It did not take long until Adam was splashing and Daddy was smiling. We had been watching the Baby Signs DVD just prior to the bath. While Adam splashed we repeated the word "water" while doing the sign. Adam signed "water" back. This was his first recognizable time signing "water". If you have to be sick it is nice to have someone brighten your day. Well done, Adam. Such a sweet little boy.

Show Me a Sign

It's baby signing time. We have been signing a few baby signs with Adam, such as: more, potty, all done, and I love you. We decided to expand our vocabulary and ordered Baby Siging Time volumes one and two. When the package came addressed to Adam he studied the contents carefully. His got excited when they were doing the sign for milk, and referenced a baby drinking mommy's milk. Finally a movie with some real milk in it, now were talking!
