You ever heard of the books that say you can teach your kid sign language?

Well here's proof. He doesn't truly understand what he's saying (no difference between 'more' or 'food'). However he does know that when he gives the sign we feed him. That's pretty cool. This one is pretty cool too.

Jordan is so cute when he plays this game, but there is one problem. He can only get two parts rights before he gets confused. We taught him his head, belly, and feet. On any given day he'll remember the head and one other. This particular day was the belly.

We finally found out when the next surgery is going to be. It is a week from today, the day after memorial day. They are going to use an endoscope very similar to the last one they used, but this one will have a laser on it. There is a cyst in the middle of the vocal chords and three cysts right below them in the windpipe. The one in the vocal chords is probably restricing the volume and the other three are acting almost like a whistle. The doctor believes that all are fluid filled cysts which should be able to be excised pretty easily with the laser. As a result Jordan is definitely going to spend Tuesday night in the hospital for monitoring. That will be a good thing considering last time.

Last time Jordan was pretty fussy. He spent all day crying so much that I caved in and gave him a pacifier. It turns out that he was fussing for a reason I never predicted. After shoving the endoscope down his throat he had pretty bad gas. He calmed down after he let out a belch and filled up a pretty mean diaper. Then he took off. I miss the baby. Now, I've got a little toddler who has learned how to run and only speaks 5 words (Mommy, daddy, bye, no, and more). If he can't express himself in those words he doesn't cry. He just says bye and runs away. I can't believe there was a time when I wanted him to learn how to walk.
