Sign language & other Dax cuteness

Dax is really getting into sign language this week. He's using it a LOT and learning new signs. He also made up a sign for hairbrush the same day I taught him the sign for toothbrush. I haven't looked up hairbrush to see what the actual sign is for it, but he uses the 1-finger like tooth brush but pretends to brush his hair with his finger instead of brushing his teeth with his finger. Although he barely has any hair at all and it doesn't need brushing, he likes to play with his hairbrush when I am brushing my hair.

On our morning walk today and he made the dog sign. We hadn't yet seen a dog, so I looked around, then I spotted the one he'd seen - inside the window of a house we were passing. It is so much fun to have him bring up topics and try to communicate with me!

He also brings me toys and books. He requests songs he'd like to hear by doing finger play (like, he does itsy bitsy spider hands when he wants me to sing that song). Oh, and he recently started running to me and hugging my legs with his arms while giggling. I love this age. :)
