Words

Dear Baby Bird,
I wouldn't say that you "talk." But you definitely have your way of letting us know what you want!

Spoken words:
Mama
Dada
GukGuk (your version of Bennett/Brother)
BupBup (Grandpa)
GaGa (Grandma)
FFFF (dog - "woof")

Signed words:
Eat
More
Please
Water
Milk
Cracker
Fan
Light
Elephant
Car
Music

Motions/Actions that have meaning:
Bringing shoes to someone indicates you want them to take you outside
Pointing to the sky means you heard an airplane (you have a certain tone of "oooh" that goes with that)
Standing by the stair gate and pointing up means you want someone to open the gate so you can go down
Walking to the tv and making the music sign means you want us to turn on music so you can dance
Pulling your bib off or pushing the tray away means you are done.
Resting your head on my shoulder while I rock you means you are tired and comfortable and loved.

Love,
Mom
PS: Here are two photos from this weekend.
Saturday at Brother's soccer game with lots of family there to cheer as he scored 4 goals. You got lots of attention, too.

Monday lunch with Grandpa outside his office.
