Firsts

-This week, Jonah learned how to climb both up AND down the stairs by himself. He says, "hold on to railing" and he does-- by himself.

- He now can count to 10. The first time he did it was in the car about a week ago when we were on the Cape visiting Jacob and Jenna. He just looked at his shoe, moved his finger along the sole, and started counting-- he made it 1-10 by himself.

- Related to counting, today, I alternated numbers with him (I say "1", he says "2", etc.).

- Somersaults!!! Just started doing them on his own, without any rhyme or reason. He loves it though and laughs hysterically when he does it.

- Using possessives and pronouns ("Jonah's", "Mommy's", "her", "him", etc.)

- SINGING!!! He may be tone deaf, but he can sing the words to "Twikle Twinkle" (some of them) and "ABCD" (ok maybe just ABC). "Baby Mine Don't You Cry" (but it "makes sad")
