I'm the tooth fairy; I came for your teeth. Ok!

Jonah's language skills have been taking off. He was doing pretty well with his sign language but that has been stagnating as his language skills picked up. He still will sign for when he is all done at dinner or he wants more of something but all the other signs are gone.

He differentiates between cats and dogs (meows and woofs). He can say book, milk and fork though they all sound a bit a like as he only gets the K out clearly. He still loves brushing his teeth and even requests it when he is in the bathroom by saying teeth

He is pretty good with bye-bye but his real favorite is good-night. If you lay him down in his crib he will say: "night." Of course, we respond back with: "Good night." To which he dutifully replies, "night." This will go on until after we leave the room. When the door is shut he raises his voice and starts shouting "NIGHT!!!" He finds the whole thing hysterical and usually giggles the whole time.

Genevieve lost her first tooth today. It has been wiggly since mid October. The dentist said if it wasn't out in two months we should have it pulled. I gave her until we came back from Georgia to get it out. We were about to schedule an appointment when the root started showing on Sunday. At that point I knew it was just a matter of days so we left her to her own devices. Tonight it was twisting about in all directions so Carrie gave it a small tug and it popped out. The hole bled for about 2 minutes before stopping. Genevieve is really excited and put her tooth under her pillow. Sometime back Carrie told G that the tooth fairy didn't exist but G refuses to believe her. We'll be swapping out the tooth for some money later this evening.
