Noah slept for 14 hours last night!!! He went down at 8 and slept until after 10 this morning. The result is a child in a wonderful mood. He's eating lunch right now and he's just cycling through all his old "tricks" and then did a few we've been working on for the first time. After babbling 'Da-Da-Da-Daddy' several times he looked at Jenna and said 'Ma-Ma.' He has done this before but it is so rare and usually it's when Jenna's in his face saying it and he repeats it. Not this time. Then he went through his known signs for more, milk, and let me hold the spoon. Okay so that last one isn't actually sign language but it's pretty apparent what he wants. He accurately cycled through his body parts (except nose which has moved to his head but he knew it well at one point in time). Then he dropped the big one on us. Without a demonstration he blew a kiss when asked. It was hilarious and we laughed and celebrated. He celebrated by doing it again. The other new thing for today is he is actually saying the word 'Hi' instead of grunting some variation of the 'h' sound. He said it on the phone to his great-aunt Judy.
Hopefully the mood will last because it's pouring down rain outside so we'll all be in close quarters for the day.
