Communication

Over the past 2 weeks Brody has been talking more and more. Its like a switch went off, and he is putting words together! Today (after some prompting from me, of course) he said "thank you, meme" to brian's mom for dinner! So cute! We started teaching brody some sign language when he really little. And he has been so great about using it to communicate. Its really taught him some manners before he was able to talk. He says "thank you" in sign language all the time to us.....without prompting from us...which is amazing! and makes me feel like im doing something right ....lol! He uses "please" quite often too...mostly after was say "what do you say if you want that, brody". BUT, it really has taught him how to be polite before he knew how to use the actual words. I love that he is starting to communicate more with words! I dont know if other parents do this, but whenever brody says or does something new, i think we make him sick of it because we get him to do it over and over again. When he knows we think something is cute, he does it repeatedly because of the reaction we give. He started saying "oh-no" a couple of weeks ago. So we get him to say it all of the time:) We were on the way to take him to Brian's parents house for the weekend, he started PRACTICING saying "oh-no, meme" and "oh-no Poppy". He said it over and over again to himself, like he was trying to get it just right so he could show them his new words....lol.
