Paul is starting to sign....
He consistently signs for "more", and is starting to sign for "finished" and for "milk". Today when he was playing on the floor with some items, he started reaching his fingers into one of the containers and then pinching his thumb and index finger together and putting them in his mouth, as if he was tasting something. I read that as a sign for hunger - he ate well, soon after.
He's getting to the point of understanding many words too, especially 'no'. The last few days, his goal in life has been to control the TV. He scoots over and tries to turn the TV off, on, or change the volume/channel before anyone notices. When he gets close to his goal, we tell him "Paul, no" and he looks at us, then back at the TV. If Mark or I get up, he lunges for the buttons before we can move him away from the TV. It is quite amusing, but rather annoying.
Will try to capture some of this on film before too long.

Kate's Graduation
OK,
I am late getting these pictures and thoughts online..... Graduation was May 20th and here it is August already! We were in Potsdam NY from May 17th to the 23rd. We being the entire Thornburg, Munday, Welsh Family. We stayed in two 'cottages' one was a postage stamp disguised as a cabin, the other was fairly spacious but odd in its own special sort of way.
The weather was crummy for most of the week, but we had a good time with each other and Kate has graduated from college and we were all there to celebrate with her!
Enjoy the pics!
This is the medal stand at the ski-jump in Lake Placid. We are standing in birth order - Me(1), Susan(2), and Mary(3). Paul is peeking around my shoulder.
This is the ski-jump, where the skiier leaves the earth to jump off the cliff! And then land below! Mary suspects that alcohol was involved in the invention of this sport.

Mommy's Little Helper
I was folding laundry, when Paul decided to 'help' me out.... I nearly cried laughing. Yes, those are undergarments on his head and around his neck. He did it himself.
Enjoy!
