Look who's talking (and signing)

Littlebat's repertoire of words and signs has more than doubled in just the last few days!

Earlier this week, he made the sign for the word signing and pointed to the DVD player. He wanted to watch a Signing Time video, of course. Only thing is... that's not even one of the signs the video aims to teach. I'm guessing he picked it up from watching me try to teach myself the intro song.

He also signed go and stop(!) for the first time a few days ago, demonstrating that he knows what each of those things mean (except once the game was in full swing, he decided that stop meant we had to actually catch him and stop him).

Then yesterday... he plucked an ornament off Granny and PawPaw's Christmas tree and simultaneously signed and said ball as he handed it to me. I was utterly amazed!

And later he signed airplane (he got a toy airplane for Christmas), and dirty (after he decided to investigate the strange, stinky, squishy feeling in his pants while we were changing his diaper).

He also said Pop Pop (instead of tada or pada) for the first time yesterday, which, for my grandfather, was the best Christmas present ever.
