I just wanted to note this for future reference. Jack has begun to sign like crazy in the last week. He can sign for "fan", "fish" "flower"...and he clicks his mouth when he wants food. He did the sign for "doggie" this morning, and is trying so hard to make the sign for "balloon" and "book" and "cheerrio" but he just isn't coordinated enough yet.
He is so smart. I really believe he is way ahead of himself. On Saturday morning he woke up in our bed and began calling "Dada" "Dada" as that is what we do each morning together (with me calling out "Daddy! Daddy!") to get Daddy to come upstairs. (Paul is sleeping downstairs now as Darby needs to be taken out several times throughout the night...he is not doing well )
This morning in bed, we learned the sign for "doggie" and he did it several times...but then wouldn't do it for Daddy. Also when I was reading his "colors" book to him this morning....before I even pulled open the page to show him the blue fish ....Jack was making the sign for "fish" and when I opened the page for starfish and said "starfish" he made the sign for "fish" again....WOW!!! I can't believe he makes these connections! (It even took Mommy a second to figure out why he was signing "fish" when I had said starfish.)
I am amazed by my baby! I am in awe at how much he understands at 9 1/2 months!
