More Milestones

I discovered something really awesome and that is, language! Seriously, it makes my life a quarter easier [I've only been able to get the concept of a word or two so far].

You see, few days ago I decided to try some of those "words" the Adults were signing to me or around me. There was a specific time when I asked for a pacifier and I was immediately understood. It's amazing what you can accomplish when lingually communicating.

I do hit my mouth with my fist to ask for few things that are similar to me. When I need some kind of comfort, I would sign "paci" and my needs are met right away. I'll never forget the look on my Mom that night on our bed. I told her with my eyes that I was tired and she usually did her sweet thing by lying down next to me and let me nurse as much as I pleased. This time, I wasn't in the mood to nurse, especially to have milk. I unlatched and turned my head away then did the magic sign. Mom again offered but I turned away and signed "paci". She understood and gave me my favorite pacifier.

I fell fast asleep right after that but before doing so, I saw a huge smile spread across my Mom's disbelieving face, priceless!

Here's a video of me; watch and learn how I communicate!

Also, I've been enjoying the ability to explore more freely than I could before. I still am happily content on my back and not rolling around or whatever. But when I see something I realllllly want, I'lll scoot, roll and cry as a last resort to get there. And, you bet I'll use my brilliant mind to get things that seem out of reach by using tools.

I cannot wait to understand what my legs are capable of doing then I'll be able to reach wherever I want with speed before Mama or Papa stops me!

Anyway, happy growing!
