Jack had an eye exam and all went well. He does not need glasses at this time (YAY!!) and everything else has remained the same. So no news is GREAT news. I have a silly story...Jack was getting his eyes examined and you know how the eye doctor leans in really close when he's peering into your eyes? Well Jack thought the eye doctor was leaning in for 'kisses' and that's what he did! Jack gave the eye doctor kisses...HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! Jack has several neat things to brag about this week!

First he started shaking his head "No" when he doesn't want something -- just does it with food and medicine right now -- but still a MAJOR milestone for us! Instead of crying or just turning his head he looks right at me and shakes his head "No" too cute!

He made his FIRST SIGN....for DADDY! It's too cute. He's only done it a handful of times, but hey, once is enough to convince me! It's so precious to see him communicating. The sign for Daddy that we use is an splayed hand with the thumb pointing to the center of the forehead. Jack can't quite get his hand to go precisely on his forehead so he taps the side of his head sort of like moose ears LOL!!!

Okay now the BIG one...Jack has never really made the "M" sound a whole lot much less babble with it. Well, clear as a bell Jack said "Ma, Ma" early last week. I was just THRILLED to hear his little voice say it -- it's so cute! We weren't sure if he was using it meaning mommy, but as the days went on it became pretty obvious he was talking to ME!! So I am pretty sure Jack has said his first word...and it was MA MA!!!

He's also moving much more...rolling and pivoting to get places, putting rolling and belly crawling together to go somewhere -- still needs a lot of work, but it's not as much like pulling teeth anymore.

We've had an excellent week
