Our Little Communicator
Much to my delight, Josiah added a new sound to his vocabulary: “ma ma”! He tends to only say it when he wants something, but I’ll take what I can get. His current vocabulary now exists of ma ma, ba ba, da da, and blah blah, not to mention shrieks and shrill sing-song voices.
He has also added another sign, but it took us a while to figure out that he was doing it. He added “finished” which is signed by shaking your hands, from toward your body to palms out one time. However, Josiah does this sign by furiously waving one of his arms around. He has been doing it when he doesn’t want to eat anymore (which we assumed that he was attempting to fling food off of the spoon), when he wants out of his high chair, when he wants out of his car seat, etc. He is at such a fun age, and it is really neat that he can communicate with us.

A friend of mine at work has a son who’s about 18 months old… “Mommy” is still the utility word, but the best part is if you nod and ask him a question, he’ll almost always answer “yeah.” The kid promised to mow my lawn a few weeks ago but still hasn’t followed through.

You are the best parents I have ever seen.
