Clapping, More and All Done... We're so Proud!



We've been teaching Jackson how to clap since Christmas and he finally figured out how to do it by himself! All day, every day, I've been showing him how but, instead of clapping, he'd just clasp his hands together. Yesterday at breakfast we had a breakthrough. He finished his waffle and I said "Yay!" and clapped, and he clapped with me. It was so exciting! I got it on video today at lunch, along with a couple of other milestones that we've been working on. We've been teaching Jackson baby sign language, mostly how to sign "more" and "thank you." Today at lunch, he signed "more" for the first time. (I think he did, but he was probably just playing with his food. But, I'm the mommy, my kid is brilliant, so he was signing more!) Another thing Jackson's been doing lately is handing us his food when he's had enough. He used to throw it on the floor, but that's no longer the case. When he's full, he politely hands us the remaining food, with a smile. Our boy is learning proper table manners and we are so proud!
