New Words

Mekiah said his first word last week. It was "up", or "pup" as he says it. Two days ago he learned his second word which is "hot". He says this one very clearly. He learned "hot" from touching our hot baseboard heater. He does not touch it any more. Mekiah also knows the sign for ball. He can not do it himself yet, but if you show him the sign, he will find his ball and get it. Our next sign that we are working on is "cracker". Mekiah has taken several steps now too. He has taken two steps on his own and with prompting, he has taken six. I think he will be walking within the nest couple of weeks.
