Samuel with Nana before she had to leave.Samuel has become quite the talker. He has developed a pretty good repertoire of signs (eat, more, please, thank-you, drink) and has continued to say more and more words. So far he has dada, mama, hi, bye-bye, car, dog (gog), this (for anything he wants), please (bus), yes (es), duck (guck). There are also a few more, but only recognizable by Mike and I. It is really cute when he really wants something because he will both sign and say please. He has also learned to change his inflection at times. It is amazing to watch his little mind work and see what he comes up with.
This is a video of him wanting to open his water bottle. When I ask him if he wants help he says yes and is shaking his head. He then signs and says please (sign is a circle on his chest). The second time I ask him to say please he pauses to pass gas then proceeds with the sign and word! Yes, he is his father's son!
