Vacuum and Telephone

John still doesn't show fear of the vacuum cleaner, although it's such a common fear that I expect it may come as he gets older. I've always vacuumed while wearing John in a sling. Today was the first time I vacuumed with John running loose. He followed me around and even touched the vacuum while it was running. This photo was taken after I'd wrapped up the cord: John kept touching the vacuum and hooting.
Here is an admittedly boring video of John exploring the vacuum:

John now has a second baby sign: for telephone! He cups a hand over his ear and says "ohhh!" This is in imitation of when we play telephone with him: I'll hold a telephone to my ear and say, "Ring ring! Hellooooo?" Now John even announces every time the phone rings with his sign and "ohhh!" This afternoon he was quite agitated when I did not answer the ringing phone.
