Preston is getting so clever! He tries to communicate all the time and is saying more and more sounds and talks away to himself and tells us big stories. He is also using a lot more baby signs as well which is really impressive to see, especially when he asks for something specific eg grapes or milk and we say 'ok, here it is' and he is instantly satisfied. We have had hardly any tantrums lately because we know what he needs!
Petey and Karon came to stay last night so they got to see our mischief boy in action and I think they were pretty amazed by Preston's communication.
However, we have discovered one thing we weren't expecting - Preston has made up his own sign for something, but we don't know what it means!!!! So the only tantrum we have had is when he got so frustrated that I wouldn't give him what he wanted, but I was trying - I gave him about 10 options of things that were in his line of sight! Nevermind, we will eventually get it I'm sure. I'll just have to wait til he next has whatever object it is and does the sign for it.
Preston is also getting clever with phones. He LOVES it when people call up and want to talk to him - he listens in delight to peoples voices. So far he can only tell my voice and Dan's voice over the phone. I've been at work almost every day the last 2 weeks and the other day Preston was getting bored of daddy so gave Dan the phone and said 'MAMA!' as if to say 'call up mama please!' And whenever the phone rings, he puts his hand to his ear as though he is answering it.
Remember how I said I had taught him to say Mmm mmm MMMM? Well he says it whenever he has delicious food, and the last few times i've been to the supermarket he goes crazy in the fruit and vege section and wont shut up going MMMM MMMM MMMM!! at all the yummy things he likes to eat. Of course, everyone else in the supermarket just stares weirdly at us....
