Felix understands more and more of what we say, and he is getting interested in showing off his knowledge. For the first time today, he pointed to his nose when Dean asked him "where is your nose?" (in English). He occasionally lifts his T-shirt when Lucie asks him "il est où, ton bedon?" ("where's your tummy?"). Also, he sometimes tries to mimick us when we make the sound of animals (mmmmmooo for the cow, ack ack ack for the duck).

Felix is teething once again. His gums look smooth, but he is a little feversih, he is chewing on toys more than usual, and he is drooling buckets.

This week, Felix figured out a way to make us go where he wants: he grabs us by the finger and drags us along. It's cute!

New words:

• [opening and closing mouth]: Fish. Felix has been misusing this baby sign for a couple of months, using it for all sort of things. This week, he finally got it right, and he has been accurately spotting fish everywhere: in the tank at Chinese restaurants, on photos in books, and even embroided on clothes.
• [opening and closing fist]: I want to leave. This baby sign is a Felix creation. He started using it last week-end, while we were visiting friends, and it took us a few days to understand what it meant. He was doing it so purposefully, we knew it had to be something important. The sign clearly has the same root as waving bye-bye, but faster and just in the hand (Felix uses more of his arm to wave bye-bye). Felix uses this sign a lot, when he wants to go home, or go outside, or just go to a different room.
