Does that blow your mind? – continued

As promised to Amanda, here are some more videos of Jack’s trick.  

Here’s Amanda setting him up. He had just woken from a nap and was a little slow. But still eager to play.

Here he is just after learning the trick. He’s eager to do it, and it’s usually a domino chain of explosions.

Other tricks that Jack has recently learned:

  • blowing air
  • kissing your cheek – usually a gross, open-mouthed press to your cheek, but tonight he actually make a puckering lips smack!
  • holding the phone to his shoulder/ear region
  • pretend washing the table with a napkin
  • Putting pencil to paper
  • Can balance on two legs for a few seconds (only done twice, he doesn’t seem to like it yet)
  • Fast at climbing up stairs, can go down backwards with lots of prodding

Other things he can do, learned/mastered in the last month or so

  • Cruising!
  • waving bye bye
  • high fives
  • nodding yes
  • standing in his crib after naps
  • “Da” has been generalized for many things, but with tones. Mom, Dad, bottles, animals, fruit, all “da!”
  •  Sorting, stacking rings, putting straws in cup lids . . .any kind of “this” goes in “there” task

And reading by osmosis!

(There, Amanda.  Blog updated.  I’m going back to sipping tea and doing nothing.)
