Words!

Harrison's language skills have skyrocketed over the last several weeks! Only a few words spoken so far, but he understands several words and phrases now and it seems like every day he learns something new. He understands a few words in sign language (the all-important "eat" and "more" and, thankfully, "gentle") and he can correctly point to many different things that we name. Right now he is cracking us up when we ask him to point to his eyes. He points to his cheek and then starts blinking really slowly. Hilarious.

As far as speaking goes, he has now officially told some perfect strangers "hi," and the other day he said "shoe." We are excited to start communicating with him and, as a result, we have the pleasure of seeing his wonderful personality shine through a little more every day.

We posted some new pictures today from the last few weeks including a trip to the petting zoo with John and our first KU football game of the season. Also, note the pics of him brushing his teeth. :) We've been enjoying this cooler weather and getting outside more!
