BIG STRIDES FORWARD

Tobin's motor skills have increased exponentially over the past week or so. He's now waving goodbye (and making the 'come here' motion when he wants someone or something) and pointing to things. I love when he beckons me when I come in the door from work. (Kristen says he's learned the sound of the garage door and gets really excited when he hears me coming home in the evenings.)

He's also saying "Ba" for ball. I don't know that I consider the "ma" and "da" to be his first words, but "ba" could be up there. I guess maybe we need to wait for a word with more than 2 letters for it to count though, eh? Either way, he'll pick up a ball and yell, "ba!" at the top of his lungs (and he's LOUD too).

He's even watched Blane and I enough to know to type on a keyboard and move the mouse to make things change on the computer screen. I'm still in awe that he's not even a year yet.
