Henry can move around a room by himself now.
Of course this changes everything.
That doesn't mean we were any more prepared for it.
But it makes me giggle to see how much he enjoys it.
Audrey can't be far behind. She seems to be just a bit behind him in many things: teeth, signing, sitting, crawling. She was ahead of him in clapping. And she is no less happy, in general temperment.
Here's some footage of the crawling for Hank:

Hand Talk

This last week, Henry and, to a lesser extent Audrey, began signing.
Henry really understood "More" when Mommy would sign it to him while eating. Lot's of incentive there, but it really just seemed to click very quickly: bring hands together in front of chest a couple times, Mommy says "Good!" and gives me food.
Audrey seems to understand, but doesn't "say" the word. Her interest lately is lights, and understands the word when spoken to her: "Where's the light?" and she will look for the nearest light. She might be starting to sign light, but she also likes to open-and-close her hands when excited anyway.
Henry has started signing "light" actively and understands it too. We're now working on "All done" with he and Audrey too.
