First Baby Sign

We've been doing baby signs with Joel since he was real little. We mostly do, milk, more, all done, hungry, thirsty, thank you and tired. We do more in playgroup each week too; Mommy, Daddy, play, etc...
This morning he was taking a break from drinking his bottle and I asked him if he wanted more. I signed more, then he signed more. I was so proud of him!
I would've thought milk would be his first sign. Whenever we sign milk he gets all excited cause he knows what's coming :o)

Joel's 9 month well check

He went to see the NP (Karen) this afternoon. He's doing wonderfully!
He impressed her with his skills, clapping, waving, high 5's, clicking his tongue, babbling; Hi, Mama, Dada, Niny (? for Cindy), etc...

His stats:

Weight: 20.8 (53%)

Length: 28.5 (63%)

HC: 17.5 (28%)

I can't believe he'll be 9 months old Sunday...time sure flies!
He is starting to push his walker toy around the living room, yikes!

Moving towards finalization

We got an email last week from our SW letting us know that she had received all the legal paperwok she needed to work on her part of the finalization and get it to the attorney. She'd update us again once that is completed. I guess that means once the attorney receives it, he/she gets a court date. We can't wait! J left us a message yesterday to say hi and see how we all were. She wanted to know if we went to court yet to make it final, then she said give Joel a kiss for me!
