New Skills

No wonder our guy has been so fussy lately. He's working on some new skills!
Today he showed us that he can stack the plastic rings instead of just take them apart! Of course, taking them apart is still really fun. But it's fun to stack them, too.


And today he's got a new sign. "Water." Now, our version looks like this. But his looks more like his hands on his face. We've been working with this sign in particular for a few days, and it seems like he's got it. Sometimes he uses this sign for "all done" or "down" but when we don't know what he means, we figure it out soon enough. He's thrilled when we say "oh, do you want some water?" after he signs it.

Some days he eats a lot and most days he doesn't. Today: big food day. Lots of cheese. We're learning the "cheese" sign too!

And, yes, when Ian sees the camera, he smiles. All the time. He doesn't smile quite this often in real life. He makes faces when he talks to things and has all kinds of expressions. I just can't get them very often. I finally got a less-flattering pic. Sorry, Ian. Had to share.
