Super Ta-Da moment

Okay so I know it's hard to hear and the shaking is really bad but it's amazing to us that his second word or first consistent word is Brother. That's what we call each of the boys and they call each other too. So We love it.

Beckett hasn't really wanting anything to do with signing. That and for the first three four months of his life we had to hold him at a 40 degree angle for an hour after feeding to minimize the volume of spit up escaping. That makes it hard to use your hands for anything to sign. Anyhow. He's starting to pick it up. He goes to school to pick up brother in the morning and all the ladies wave to him. He doesn't like going to anyone else but Mama and so when they wave he gets his nervous face and signs mama and waves back. It's also on the cheek wave. He's also got the milk sign too and is using it for any food right now. But my favorite one he does is the one we do for "good boy" he'll sign boy and smile and kick when he does something he likes. Whether we've told him good job or not. I think it's cute. He's not a big babbler and just kind of coo's with his mouth closed. It takes a trained professional to detect a upset grunt from a happy grunt from an "help my big fat leg is stuck" grunt. The latter one happens most often but actually is being encroached upon by the "I can't get my foot over so I can stand up" grunt. Very tricky and subtle the difference but still a difference.

Okay so I guess this is video day at the Kemper cave. Brenner and Beckett do just about everything together barring the naps. Brenner says he's just too big for that. But the two of them thought it fun to do snacks together this evening. Brenner was teaching on the proper technique of Sun Flower Seeds. Then Beckett tried his hardest to keep up.

The little boy is in love with tasting things and has now found that other things make good places to blow raspberries on besides the mama. He is also fascinated with the marks that his teeth make on things. We now have those cute two bottom teeth and the top middle and one on the left should pop tomorrow.
