Playing, Clapping, Sleep-talking, and vacation!

I know, I know...to many things in one post. First, we went our friend's house this afternoon. Ben used to live across the road from us and he and Abe have been friends for a long time (relative to their ages). Abe and Ben, for the first time, really played together. It was SO cute. They were following each other around, laughing and interacting!! It was just adorable.

Second, for the first time today, Abe clapped! Hooray. Like everything else, he did it once (without any previous attempts) and has continued to clap all day! You'll see both of these things in the video below.

Third, last night we were driving home from Tami's house and Abe, who had previously been asleep, started talking. "Dada, dada" initially...then a few minutes later "nonononono" and then he started laughing hysterically. We were at a stop light, so I peeked over his car seat and yep, low and behold he was sound asleep. I guess he takes after me.

Finally, I am leaving or vacation early on Tuesday morning, so I might be somewhat absent from my usual blogosphere. I'll try a post or two while I'm gone, but no promises! Wish me luck on my 4 hour flight to SLC (by myself...ahhh!!!)
