Dad

Here is Brady signing Dad! I actually got it on film without any incident. I think Brady's learning who's boss here! The sign for Dad is done with an open hand with the thumb touching the forehead. Brady's version is a bit different, but its consistent and close enough for us! Now that we know Brady is beginning to sign we are watching him like a hawk for other signs. For instance I think at the conclusion of this video he signed "baby." Which is signed by "cradling a baby in your arms." Watch and I think you'll see it. This is such an exciting time. Brady is discovering new things everyday. Let's just hope he doesn't discover the sign for his middle finger!

Brady is feeling much better. He still has a nasty cough and is creating enough snot to be an extra on the movie Ghost Busters. We went to the Doctor yesterday and he checked out okay. We are just watching him closely for the next week. The Doctor extended his steroid dose for 3 more days. Grrrrrr. The good news is that Brady has gained a 1/2 pound in the last 3 weeks. IMPRESSIVE!! Our protein shakes are working. Yesterday, Brady weighted 21lbs 6.5 oz with his clothes on. At his 15th month check up 3 weeks ago he weighed 19lbs 13oz (naked).
