It's been a wild time at home, what with this, that and the other, but I think I can finally take some time and jot down what you've been up to.
You've been trying to talk, it seems like. I get the feeling BOTH of us are a little frustrated at this point. You haven't really been using the signs I've been trying to teach you, but you do try to vocalize some. I have yet to be able to interpret most of what you are trying to tell me. There ARE some things, though, that are just spot on. They may be animal sounds and whatnot, but hey, it's a start :)
Sometimes you say "BYE" albeit in your babytalk way, and it sounds more like "Bah" or "Bei". You make a low "Hmmmmm" sound when asked what an owl says, and a short staccato "ungghhh" which is supposed to be "Woof/arf" for "what does a dog say", and you finish my "chuga chuga chuga chuga" with a "Chmmph Chmph" ( choo choo ) . *grin* You also like to go "ARRGHHHH" for "tiger". ( Too much Kai Lan? )
Also, you try to show us what you want a lot of times, by pointing. Which is helpful. Whenever we are outside, you always point at the tree, and love to feel the leaves in your hand. You've been pointing at objects in books as well, when we ask, "where's the butterfly" etc. Hurray for vocabulary! And a love for books. :)
You like playing with the nesting measuring cups that came with a "cooking set" that Jamie sent us, and are now a pro at stacking those stacking rings deals.
In the last week, you have learnt to get off the "big bed" by sliding down on your tummy , backwards & feet first, holding on to the blanket/covers with your fingers. You always get this triumphant look of great satisfaction whenever your feet touch the floor safely.
Whenever the weather permits, we cycle around our circular driveway, and put you in your little bicycle seat thingy.
It will very soon get too hot and stuffy in there, and I may have to start looking at the ibert safe-t-seat!

My boys don't sign everything I have shown them but they do the all gone sign when they are done eating. We have the FP shape sorter too and they love it.
