Random Traffic Through Nick's Brain

• Alex is starting to mimic.
• He seems to have understood the sign for milk for a while now. He also seems to understand the sign for “food”, and the word “no” now. He seems to understand the combined gesturing / tone of “come here”.
• First bandage. He misjudged the distance between the couch and the coffee table. He fell over, as he has dozens of times before. This time he hit his face on one of his toy blocks. Small cut. I think we were more worried than he was.
• If you get down on your hands and knees and crawl backwards, he’ll start chasing you. It’s so cool that he’s that interactive.
• Scheduling things that don’t involve Alex around Alex is hard. Interviewing is much more difficult than I thought it would be. On the other hand, after a bit of a rough start, I think I’ve got my groove back… cobwebs are swept away, and brain’s in gear.
