He's walking, he's talking, he's an on-the-move fiend! Jack spent the last two days babbling word after word at daycare, and doing every sign he knows. He has done a lot of "happy screaming" and "running and yelling" ... which means he is DEFINITELY feeling better! No more chicken pox for this kid.
It's almost like he has information overload and he just doesn't know how to get out what he wants to say. Poor kid! That must be so frustrating. Although, he really doesn't seem to mind. His favorite word, by far, is "ball." He's also started trying two-word phrases like "blue ball" and "red ball." He also constantly does the sign for milk (hand out, open and closed fist) and we aren't quite sure what that means. Sometimes, if you give him milk, he drinks it down. Other times...he isn't interested. So we are thinking that "milk" is the sign for pretty much anything he wants.
Finally, he shakes his head "no" for everything, even yes. He's been doing the "no" thing for awhile now but he really does it every single time you ask him any question. It's kind of funny...although we really are trying to teach him the head-nod so that he can say "yes" correctly!
At daycare, they've started giving him meals on a real plate with a fork and/or spoon. So, at home, we bought a pack of baby plates (i.e., ones that won't break when he throws them on the floor) and he has done great with them! He gets tired of them at the end and starts to bang them around, but no kid can be perfect, right?? :) We are really proud of him because I feel that proper use of utensils and plates at 13 months old is pretty darn impressive..even if the fork is mostly just for show.
I tried to get a few videos of his babbling, running, crazy self. Here he is!
You forgot to mention how he 'sneezes' after anyone else does it :) Cute kid. Glad we got to spend time with him last weekend.... i know he and A will be life long 'friends'. hehe
