We need to start writing down Judah's milestones. Certain special events are written in random calendars (baby's first bath! baby's first smile!), but there are other moments...Judah specialties...like the reaffirming pat he gives your back during a hug, or the sound he makes when blowing a kiss. We want to remember that although Judah is a man of VERY few words, he can point to eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, feet, head, legs, belly, knees, and hands. And while he has been pointing to the elephant, bear, cat, monkey, and other animals within his books for several weeks, two days ago he made his first animal noise :) A monkey. Judah even curls his fists into his sides, pumping his arms while yelling "ooooo!! ahhhhh!!" After Papa's visit to Irving, Judah began giving "knuckles" to everyone...EVERYONE. In the grocery store, down the halls at church, from our neighbor's 1 month old to the sweet ladies in their 80's, Judah sticks out his fist in invitation for "knuckles." His first word was "more" - followed by "ball" and then little else...for MONTHS. And finally, after months of waving frantically, he said "bye!" Over and over, with loud and excited affirmation from his parents :)
