my little Learner

Whoa... we're learning! It seems like just this past week Benjamin has gained a certain level of conciousness I haven't seen before. He's already started on some basic things like waving, clapping, making a number 1 (pointing), dancing and blow a kiss. Usually blow a kiss has to do with Jesus which made for a funny moment yesterday at Mass when I whispered, "see Jesus?" as the cross was carried in the procession at the end. He responded with blowing a kiss in the general direction of it... Of course the former religion teacher/rel ed director would have her kid blowing kisses to a crucifix at 10 months- it may be a bit cliche but I'm thrilled! :)
Since he's doing these basic motions I feel that his signing should start to take off a little too. I'm trying to teach him super basic sign language for fun and help in our communication. We're watching the "Baby Signing Time" videos, he loves the characters and songs that go with it.

I got him to do a few things on command the other morning, here's the fruits of our labor so far...
