Abby: After a couple of days of teasing, I think we can safely say that Abby is clapping. At first she would bring her hands together in a clap, then stuff them in her mouth - usually laughing. She had not quite grasped the idea of repeating the action. Today, however, she had several instances of actual clapping. She finds it pretty funny and laughs while she does it. Than again, she could be laughing at Mommy and Daddy who squeal and clap like crazy people every time she does it. Natalie is still stuck on just pulling her hands together once. Stay tuned though, she never lets Abby is ahead of her for long.
Natalie: Natalie is mastering the art of waving. We really haven't worked much on waving bye-bye, but somehow she has picked it up. She's been doing it for a short time, but I wasn't really sure if it was a random movement or a deliberate attempt to wave. Today, however, when Grandpa and Ya-yai were leaving, Natalie just kept doing it. And when they would wave at her, she would wave back. I'm pretty sure it was on purpose. She will also wave at you from across a room - just to say hi. Again, she seems to look right at you and do it, so I think it's on purpose. Abby occasionally waves her arm around, but it still seems more random to me than purposeful. I'm not quite ready to check off the waving box for her.
It's amazing to watch how they learn new things every day. Stay tuned...I'm sure there is more to come.
