LittleMan's New words

LittleMan is growing so quickly. We've been teaching him signs, but until a month and a half ago, he wasn't interested in learning those. Now he has a growing list of words he can sign to us. He's so excited that he can communicate and we actually understand what he's saying.

Right now he can sign:
Hello/bye bye
fan
light
eat
drink
more
sleep
change (as in "let's go change your diaper")

A few nights ago, as I was brushing his teeth, he said his first (non family name) word. He said "light". He looked right up at the light, did the sign, and said it. I was so excited and BittyBit shared my excitement. We gave him a huge round of applause and she said, "Good job! You did it, you said light!"

Gram signs "good j-o-b" plus "head-explode" [brilliant].

It's also kind of sad that he isn't going to be your baby anymore. I can't believe how big he is getting.
