In the past week or so (since I posted the last updates about his talking and signing), Andy has added some new words. He now signs (his version of the signs) sleep and I love you.
A couple new favorite words have formed, too. One is drop; mostly used when he's in his high chair and is done eating or drinking - he holds a fist full of food over the edge of the tray, says, "drop!" (sort of sounds like wop or ooh-wop) then either watches it fall or looks at me with a mischievous grin before dropping it (or if I'm lucky I get it before he can drop it). He also says "up" when he wants to be picked up. This is usually followed by him grunting and pointing at something that he wants you to take him over to. This "up" is not to be confused with the "up" or "hup" that means help, so you have to pay attention. :) When I push him in the little ride-in car we have, I say go, stop, fast and slow as I do those things. I think he also tries to say "fast" now - that seems to be his favorite part of the car rides!
On a non-communication note, he likes to ride in his car with one or both feet kicked way up by the steering wheel, which is funny to see - basically his hands and feet are all at the same level.
