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!

Hair

We never cease to be amazed by Adam. He is in the phase where he likes to grab hair and faces. He often will reach out to people and grab their hair, bringing them closer to him. He even does this to strangers who dote on him. Tonight Adam reached out and grabbed Mommy's hair in his fist. Mommy said (as she often does) "That's Mommy's hair," followed by "be gentle with Mommy's hair." Adam echoed "hair." He said it again and again. Daddy was summoned, and also got to hear Adam repeat his first official word, "hair, hair." What was your first word?

Once we got the camera out he did not say it as distinctly as he had previously, but we thought the video was worth showing anyway.
