We have decided to teach Landon a few baby signs. We have a book that talks about how to teach your baby to communicate not only using signs that are universally known but also to come up with indicators or signs that are easily identified by the parents and that are easy for your baby to do. We have been working with Landon on "up" and showing him to stretch out his arms towards us to be picked up. He is getting really good. We got it on film but it was cut short because we want to show positive reinforcement by actually picking him up when he does it.
And in other news, Mommy has her water bottle from the hospital that she got when delivering Landon that is toted everywhere and each time she has it in her hands Landon of course wants to have a drink too, or try to have a drink. Each time Mommy puts the straw to Landon's lips he more or less chews on it like a teether. Well, today after eating lunch he wanted the water bottle and Mommy put it to his lips. This time he figured out how the straw works, wrapping his lips around it and sucking! He got a big mouth full that was then dribbled down the front of him. We'll work on getting a video of that up here because it is too cute!
