Daycare has been great at teaching Nathan sign language. He can say PLEASE and MORE really well and seems to understand them. They’re teaching him BIRD and we’re trying THANK YOU as well. We have started asking him to sign PLEASE if he asks us for something, and he’s started doing it on his own sometimes too. MORE he mostly uses when he wants more food. It’s very cool to see him communicate with us like that! He also sort of created his own sign if he wants to go outside by waving his hand toward the door, like he’s going bye bye. He loves to hang out in the front yard and watch birds and planes and cars.

He’s also saying a few words now (though in his own baby way):
Dog/ Doggy (Doh)
Daddy!
Duck (Du)
Cat/Kitty Cat
Ball
Fish (Shish)

And cutest of all, he blows kisses when he’s saying good bye to someone, or leaving a place. Its very cute when he blows Gary a kiss before we leave in the morning, and it makes my day when he blows me one as I leave him at daycare.
