Updates on Dallin

Dallin got ahold of a purple marker. 

Dallin's communication skills have really taken off recently.  Ever since he was very young he seemed eager to communicate with us.
His words:
no = no
no = nose
no = snow
no no = donut
na na = knock knock
mo = more
Baw! = Ball
ga co we = cookie
bo bo = belly button
der it tis = There it is!
juice
shoes
toes
poo poo (and points to his diaper)

Sign Language:
He has figured out what sign language is all about and will copy any sign you show him.  But these are the ones he uses frequently:
Milk
Cup
More
All done
Cookie (ga co we)
Cracker (ca ca)
Daiper Change

On top of all this, he understands everything you tell him.  If you say "Dallin, where are your socks?" he will remember that he took them off during nap time and go upstairs and find them.  If I say, "It's time to get Weston from school." Dallin will run to the door and will wait there until I'm ready to go.

Recently I was in the shower and realized I forgot my towel. I just called out to Dallin, "Go bring mama a towel" and he did.
He is also good at communicating exactly what he wants.  If he wants something in the pantry, he will come stand a few feet in front of me, make eye contact, then turn and walk to the pantry and point to what he wants.  He once made up his own sign language to tell me what he wanted.  He was pointing to something on my dresser.  I shrugged my shoulders and said "I don't know what you want". So Dallin held one hand out flat, palm up and then put the finger from his other hand in the center of the palm of his open hand.  Meaning, of course, that he wanted me to put lotion in his hand.
