One of my favorite games these days is 'Psych.' I offer something to someone and then pull it away when they try to grab it and then I laugh. I also laugh when other people play 'Psych' on me.

Then there's also the 'Which Hand Is It In?' game. I hide my hands behind my back and after Mom or Dad guesses which hand, I pull them both out and open my hands. Of course, the object is always in the same hand - I haven't figured out the complexities of the game, like switching the object to the other hand while my hands are behind my back.

A favorite activity with Mom is making faces in the mirror. We do happy, sad, crazy (stick out tongue and shake head), shocked/surprised, and curious. Mom and Dad like the curious face best. I put my index finger on my lips and make a face that says 'hmmm.'

On another note, I can communicate about 60 words - if you combine words I can say, sign, or make sound effects for (like animal sounds). Mom thinks Dad may be stretching it, but he wrote all the words out and that's what he came up with. I actively sign things that are part of my daily routine - eat, drink, sleep, diaper change, etc. I've made up some of my own signs - for 'elephant' I raise my hand while simultaneously making a sound effect of an elephant trumpeting. For monkey, I rub my hands on my chest while going 'oooh oooh oooh.' I also say 'wa-wa' for water now and sing 'row row row' for boat. I'm working on the word 'clock,' but right now only Mom and Dad would actually understand me.
