Dear Socha,
Every day I am amazed at how much and how fast you are learning. You must be beyond exhausted at the end of each day considering all the new data that is pouring into your brain. I love watching you figure things out - like climbing the stairs or lifting up your bottle so the formula will come out. Your laughter and shrieks of joy absolutely make my day. You're starting to like tickle games and your little giggle melts my heart. And you sound like what I imagine a baby pterodactyl would sound like when you shout and grunt and raspberry - in other words, when you use your language (as much as you have a language right now). You're responding to your name now and I can see the wheels turning in your head when we ask you if you "want more" or if you are "all done?" We're trying to teach you some very basic American Sign Language, and Lori is convinced that you are so close to getting "more." Just yesterday you figured out how to make the "m" sound so you keep saying "mamamamamamama" and of course, I'm ecstatic! I realize that you are not actually saying "Mama" but I know that you will be soon. And today, you figured out the "n" sound so you keep saying "namanamanamanama." I think I even heard you say "ga" today. Your rate of learning really is astonishing.
On the food front, you seem to like apples, and apparently you love carrots. You haven't been too excited about peas lately, though. And we tried some of those puffs and you mostly just smoosh them with your hands and this evening when you (accidentally, I think) got one in your mouth, you gagged on it. I guess you're not too sure about that chewing thing.
Your Dad and I have been trying to get a holiday card out to our friends and family all week, and I think once he looks over our letter, we'll get it printed and all the envelopes stuffed so we can actually mail them before the end of the year. Of course, part of our delay was trying to pick out the perfect picture of you!
