Second, a sign for UMBRELLA. Peter signs it by bumping the backs of his fists together a couple times. But he is consistent, and usually looking at an umbrella when doing it, so I know that is what he means. We went to a kiddy zoo with some deaf friends and their deaf babies, and one mom whose baby is just a year old, asked if Peter was signing yet. I replied, lots! Her little guy is still just soaking it up, but not signing yet. While I know Peter does not get nearly the amount of fluent ASL her son is getting, I was so proud that I could talk about all the signs he already uses!
Third, the "mmm" sound!
After Peter ate some baby food he was playing with the clear plastic lid. I kissed it, mashing my lips into it and said "mmmmmmwah!" Peter thought it was hilarious, so I did it more, and look at him go! I will gladly make a fool of myself for results like this!
Very cute! He is doing great! Just wait until he gets his second ear. I am hoping that the language will pick up even more after Butters gets his second surgery. We are kind of stuck on certain sounds right now.
