Sign Language

Adam is learning sign language. He's got "more" and "thirsty" pretty well down.

Working on the sign for "all done" -- can't wait until he gets that one. The current "all done" is to take everything on his tray and throw it in every direction until the tray is clear.

Good times.

"Where's Adam?"

Adam decided last week that 2 or 3 steps wasn't going to cut it. He started cruising early last week and hasn't let up. Across the room, around tables, down hallways -- he wants to see it all, and he wants to see it all now!

After a long weekend playing with the Franklin cousins he was whupped tonight (thank you God) but we're going to have our work cut out for us as he's getting faster.

"Where's Adam?"
"Dunno... thought he was with you"

Walking!

Adam started taking 3-4 steps at a time this week. HUGE smile on his face!

• Claps through the entirety of "If You're Happy and You Know It"


• Loves the outside - looking, pointing, talking


• Takes baths standing up


• Climbs the stairs with ease


• Needs to be where the action is - very nosy


• Loves melon, cucumbers, and bananas


• He has 9 teeth through


• Loves his blanket, we've already had to get a 2nd one


• Hates getting his nails clipped... hates it.
