Oh my goodness Josh has grown this week! He's crawling around now! Not super far, super fast, but three or four feet at a time, and pretty consistently too. He chases Topper around the room, to Topper's chagrin. Where before Topper was safe just moving a few feet away from Josh's grabby hands, that safe zone has now basically disappeared. Its so cool!
Also cool, he's created another hand sign. He's already been rubbing his eyes when he's tired. Which of course started because its a natural movement when he's sleepy, but now its also a communication. And tonight we found that when he grabs his fingers and holds them over his head he's asking to be picked up. He thinks its really fun that we can do what he asks. I think so too. Makes for a much less fussy baby.
He's been communicating when he likes things and doesn't like things, but its cool to get something so specific. We're going to look into teaching him baby signs, so he can tell us more stuff too. More to come.

That's so exciting! Let me know how the baby signs go. Don and I will be in Portland this weekend. Wish you were there so we could hang out. We miss you guys like crazy!
It's wonderful to be able to communicate. We noticed that Josh often makes the perfect little grunt response to a question. We wondered if it was accidental, but it fits most of the time! The hardest part about parenting is when he tells you EXACTLY what he wants and you still have to say "NO." Ah well... You guys are great parents! Love you!
