update

Max is doing so many new things lately, it's hard to keep up with all of them!
Language: All of a sudden, Max started using sign language. We were amazed! So far he uses "more" and "eat" quite fluently. Now, each time he makes a gesture with his hands, we kind of wonder if he is signing something that we don't yet know. I'm busy studying up on the information on this website though & will hopefully be able to teach and/or reinforce some other words he might be learning. http://www.babies-and-sign-language.com/index.html
In addition to the sign language, we are trying to teach him some things in Spanish. It's two fold- teaching him what things are - like the word 'moon', but then assosicating the picture in the book wth the moon in the sky and using the word 'luna'. When we say 'moon', he points to the sky, so I think he's starting to grasp it.
His English vocabulary is growing as well. He says: Hi, Bye Bye, Bath, Up, Down, Duck, Dog, Picture, eye, truck, Dadda, outside, pasta, bite, ball, yum, truck, shoe, rock rock (for rocking chair). Other words that we can recognize (that maybe others could not) are: airplane, bird, teddy bear, home.

He is running - literally. He is one fast little dude and enjoys pushing his cart through the house, as well as running around the kitchen island (and around, and around, and around).

He has also become a bit independent at meal time - indicating the food that he wants & then wanting to feed himself with the spoon. He also likes to have his food on his plate now, rather than just on the placemat.

Anyway, probably boring information to the cyber world, but I'm sure the grandparents enjoy getting a little glimpse at what he's doing.
