Jonah is making many heterosyllabic sounds. We are working on signs, and so far he's mimicked "more", which is a favorite, since it is so easy to do and has immediate reward. "All done" and "hungry" are much more advanced. We're not pushing so hard on this (nor am I consistent in teaching) so I'm not sure if it will take off.
Jonah loves to be the center of attention. He will clap his hands, make silly grins, or anything that gets him attention and smiles. He is a little shy on entering a new place or with new people, but he seems to warm up pretty quickly and gets into his groove of doing his own thing.
Jonah is very interested in checking everything out and figuring out how it works. He is very persistent with a new toy, to see what every button, knob or spinner does. He is especially interested in knobs, like those on the cabinets, drawers, etc. He will spin and play with the knob with little interest in actually opening the door or drawer.
Jonah will eat anything except baby food. If it is pureed and spoon-fed, forget it. If we eat it, and he can feed himself, he's game. So that there would be food for Mommy, today we ordered him his first kids' meal! He got his very own plate of penne and two big meatballs. Jonah eats so much at meals that his milk intake is down to 4oz. bottles twice during the day between breastfeeding in the morning and at bedtime.
