Last night, Aidan gave his Lola Ely a "high five." Then he gave me one. Then he gave Daddy one. I can't describe how awesome it was to watch his little brain process the words "high five" and then, watching his little hand raise up to meet yours in response. My child is a frickin' genius.
Then, he showed how he is learning "close...open." I think every Filipina mom teaches their baby this. Basically, in a sing-song voice, you say "close...open" while you close and open your hand and then your baby's. My mom has been diligently singing this to Aidan since he was an infant and last night, he did a little close-opening himself.
My child is frickin' amazing.
Aidan turns 5 months old this Saturday. I can't wait to see what he shows us next.
BTW, the photo above is Aidan and me before his christening last Saturday. He's reaching for his Tito/Ninong Larry's camera.
(Or, maybe this was a preview of the high-five?! )
