A couple of new Mitch tricks: He is really into doing "so big!" and waving. It started out as a two-handed wave with a lot of wrist action. He has since refined it to a one-handed wave, but it's still very wrist-y and very flamboyant. It's the best. He's also signing "more" and "all done" - not consistently, but I know he knows how to do them. "More" looks like clapping, but slower and very deliberate, with a very serious look on his face. "All done" is a lot of hand flapping and knocking food all over the place. When he gets mad at me for trying to get him to sign "more", he bangs his head on the chair behind him. He's trying to be a little stinker, but he does it very gently as if to say, "I'm mad, but not so mad that I'm going to actually hurt myself." Over the last couple of days, he's been doing a lot of walking with push toys. He is so cute when he's doing it - he looks so pleased with himself! He gets really mad (screaming, crying, falling to the floor) when I try to help him around obstacles or turn him around so he has more room to walk (he wants to do it by himself). But today, he let Mallie help him walk all over the Gilbrides' house without a peep and loved every minute.
He's getting so big and changing so much - really coming out of the baby phase and entering toddler-hood. I can't believe how fast it's going! Getting a lot more hair too - and oh, the curls!
