Through out our lives we live in patters. We do this than that then this again. For Asher it is eat bottle nap and repeat.
Well yesterday it was time for a bottle but I had not made it yet. All the sudden Asher goes running off into his bedroom and hops in his bouncy seat and sits there all excitedly. At first I thought he was just showing off but then started to get fussy like when he wants something. So I made a bottle and he was excited and drank it all.
At first I did not think a lot about it but last night he did the same thing, we went into his bedroom started making noises so I went and checked on him to see what was going on and again he was sitting in his bouncy seat and again it was bottle time. He has started to figure out patterns and signals to tell me when he wants something. Both Samuel and Andy did Baby sign language before 1 year but this little stubern baby (Blattner trait) has decided to come up with his own.
I notice when he wants something he will do the "No More" sign I had been trying to teach him and when he does not want something he reaches for it just to in turn quickly throw it down.
Another unique pattern he as started to work with is nap time, he will lay himself down in bed after I give him is nap time binky, of course this is after screaming a little and the second time I come in but he is now doing it on his own without me having to lay him back down.
I guess these are "First Steps" to becoming a self dependent big boy like the rest and no longer a baby. I guess that means it is time to have another right. ;o)

My daughter is a little older than Asher. She was pretty used to a bottle before nap and a bottle before bed. But when we switched to regular milk, we also switched to a straw cup. We just kind of thought she would still want milk before nap and bed. She very seldom takes it at naptime, but right after her bath (which is right before bedtime), she races out of the bathroom and is signing for milk before she even sees me!!! It is so cute! It is amazing how much they just suddenly know stuff!
