Countdown to 2

My "baby" is 23 months today. Here is a list of signs (ASL) that Gabe knows: mama, papa, grammie, granddaddy, baby, please, sorry, thank you, book, car, ball, eat, drink, milk, more, cheese, cracker, apple, peach, banana, peas, candy, cookie, ice cream, cereal, hot, all done, go and stop, train, moon, stars, shoes, socks, hat, dog, elephant, giraffe, monkey, bear, penguin, tree, grass, leaf, bird, wash hands, brush teeth, my turn, and help. The signs for leaf and grass he learned just yesterday ... but he already used them when we went to the park.

And here is a list of words that he says: mama, dada, nana, babee, aby (for Arby, his favorite lovie), up, eye (for hi), bye, baw (ball), moe (more), chee (cheese), jee or jus (juice), and appy (maybe for happy but we are not sure). He is also finally trying to repeat words ... but only if he is not too busy doing other things, like jumping on pillows, climbing things, or torturing the dogs :)
