Angelo is full of new hand gestures these days and now he points. His favorite activity is walking up the steps and looking at the pictures hanging on the wall. He almost jumps out of my arms with excitement and smiles as I say everyone's name.
He's also mastering "ma ma" "da da" and "ball" pronounced "bah" and is using different sounds to point at things so he's really trying to use sounds to communicate! He is also showing some athletic promise and will pass a ball back and forth with you for an hour. He can now pick up a ball with one and throw it overhanded to you--as well as rolling, which he's be able to do for a while.
He might be on the move soon as he can sit up from being down on his belly--which means I went in his room last night and he was just sitting up waiting for me. He can move across the floor too-albeit backwards. He's probably pretty close to crawling or even standing and walking as he likes to stand and hold on to things with one hand.
Abraham went to school in his tiger-Halloween costume today after sleeping in it last night. He spent all weekend wearing a shark mask over a hooded sweatshirt. I was wondering if this was permitted at school and asked the teacher. She told me that's what preschool is all about. Then I got admonished for sending peanut products to school with Abraham--as he announced he brought a peanut butter granola bar today. On my way out of the school I noticed two other kids showing up in costumes.
