Today John and I enjoyed a visit to Grandmom's house. There I was noticing John's increasing language skills. Today he made two signs (MORE and EAT). Also, John responded three times to seeing a picture of an animal by making the animal sound (once I showed him a dog and he said, "woof!," and twice I showed him a horse and he said, "neigh!"). Lastly, John has a new spoken word: naked! Each night as I'm undressing him for his bath, I tell him that I'm getting him naked. I've noticed lately that he responds excitedly with "nay-nay." I didn't intend for that to be one of his first words!
John has become braver about his pop-up toy. The second day we had it, I spent a lot of time making the animals pop up, first counting one-two-three! as I pushed the button (and John hid behind the couch watching me). I hoped this would help John learn to expect what was coming. Today is the third day and I caught John playing with it without fear.
