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.)
