amber waves of jack

well ... not amber ... but new.

jack has *finally* figured out how to wave!

he had been doing a small finger roll that sometimes looked like a wave and sometimes looked like the sign for "bottle" or "milk." frankly, knowing jack, it was probably the latter.

but two days ago i thought i saw a real full-armed wave. we were out in front of the house imagining a new paint scheme when a little girl and her mother walked by on their way to the elementary school at the end of our block. they waved and mommy waved, while encouraging jack to join in. he did flap his little arm and i wondered -- was that it? was that a wave?

well, today all doubts have been quelled. jack was waving like crazy at daddy this morning (sorry no pix!). he even waved to mommy when she came downstairs after her shower, but only briefly. he's been very clingy with mommy so after the wave came the reach -- "hold me mommy!"

now that's an offer you can't refuse!
