Missy Claps and J Frog Slaps

Missy clapped for the first time today and was pretty proud of herself. She's always had the happy dance where she waves her hands in the air while bouncing up and down, but now she can put her hands together and clap. It's one of those milestones things, so I wanted to mark it. She also likes bowls and playing peek-a-boo with them. It reminded me so much of LR when he was just a little older than they are now. Check out these old pics of him. You'll see the resemblance.

J Frog has started expressing excitement by raising both hands high over his head and slapping them down on the table, floor, a parent's body, or a sibling head. He's just too happy to contain himself and... SLAP-O! It sometimes gets him into trouble with LR - not so much because it makes LR angry. LR just then thinks it's okay to slap back. It's a game, right? His favorite line when I tell him not to push, hit, or kick a baby is, "but (s)he's smiling!"

J Frog has also started to babble more. He's been the strong silent type for a while, allowing Missy to have the floor for the most part, but he's starting to catch up.
