Our new family chant.

After 16 months of watching Andrew interact with Jaz and Racquel we have now come to the conclusion that our new family chant while at home is:

Andrew be gentle... Racquel run away... (repeat until one party either stops or runs away)

The other chant that we say (just a variant on the previous chant) is:

Andrew no! Don't beat Racquel with the Racquel run away...

Also, our vocabulary is up to: Dada, Woof Woof (can be substituted for baa baa, moo moo, or any other animal sound we ask Andrew to say), up! (as in pick me up or pull me up on the bed) and he usually has a version of Jaz down as well.

Still working on Momma.

For our sign language he is really good with: More, hungry, cracker, drink/milk, and a new one which is the sign for cracker. Just starting to introduce 'fruit'.
