The Talking has Begun

As hard as I've tried to teach signing to Noah, it just hasn't really happened. Oh, he'll occasionally sign "more" or "all done" but doesn't really seem to have much interest. I think we've found out why. This boy wants to talk! He tries to repeat almost everything we say and has quite a few "words" (a few only a parent could understand) already.

Lately, he's been talking about "bear" "oval" "Amen" "ball" "dadda" "Brandon" "zebra" and others. This morning Dave went through the alphabet singing "la la la", "ma ma ma", "na na na", and Noah attempted to repeat every sound!

We have one verbal boy in the works.

A few other cute Noah notes:
Ask him show his muscles? He'll squeeze his fists together and GROWL!
Try to bring him in from the outside? He throws a true tantrum! (I think we have a Chris on our hands.)
Give him a maraca? He'll happily shake it all day long.
