Back from Texas

Our recent trip to Texas was a lot of fun.  And too short as usual.  Grandma & Grandpa got to watch John David show off all of his new skills.  He's starting to take a few steps.  I've seen him take as many as seven before losing his balance.   

He can sign the following words:

1.  Hi & Bye

2.  More (as in, "more" food please).  

3.  Binky (My code word for nursing).  

4.  Bonk Bonk (This is a game John David invented.  He slaps his head and you say, "Bonk bonk!")

Right now I am trying to teach him the signs for bath, eat, drink, mommy, and daddy.

He can say the following words:

1.  Dada (occasionally he'll say Momma).

2.  Go Go (his name for our dog Dolly & all other dogs).

3.  Glasses (he pronounces it "gaaaaa sez!" as he lunges towards your face and steals your glasses or sunglasses).  This is a game he never gets tired of.  His great aunt Sharon bought him his very own pair of sunglasses and he likes them----but he still wants yours too.
