Ian walking by himself

Ian started "walking" a couple weeks ago, but he pretty much only does it when he wants to, so until now we haven't had a video. He finally did it enough times today that I could catch a quick video.
Here's also a video that we had taken a couple weeks ago of him laughing when he drops food off the high chair to Mikey.

New stuff

Ian has decided he really wants to be more communicative this week. He started signing please. I've been trying to teach him to say milk, please, all done, and more-none of which he would do until he decided he liked it. Now he does the sign for please just to get me to say please and then laughs. He likes to catch your eye and shake his head no just for fun and say "hiiiiiiii" to the pretend phone on his shoulder. He also figured out how to play with Mikey by dropping food off of his high chair for Mikey to get and then cracks up laughing. He is getting better at trying to walk and we'll hopefully have a video of that soon. I can't believe he's going to be 11 months this week!

Party

We've had a great relaxing weekend. Lately, Ian likes to do this funny scrunched up face and blow air in and out of his nose. Ian took his first two steps yesterday and today said, "Da-da.....hiiiiii." Today Ian went to a birthday party and had so much fun. He's feeling a lot better this week and has so much energy. He's really got quite the appetite too and loves eating chicken and cheese. Here's some pictures from the weekend.
