Max's babblings

Max has been babbling a lot these days. Trying to edit this video down a bit, I've watched it quite a few times now. So pretty typical these days, you'll see Max babbling, then showing frustration (hitting the gate when his new friend doesn't let him open it), his squeals of excitement (those are the best) and also using a new word. Earlier today when we were in the chinese grocery store, I heard Max yell out "No!" behind me - I think Wei Yan had said no and Max decided to repeat him a little louder. He's been a little frustrated these days. I've been encouraging him to use his signs since his words are a little jumbled together (like "moa" for more and "meh" for milk sometimes just can't be distinguished,) but I just don't think he's really going to be a signer. He's already abandoned a few signs since he thinks he's gotten the words down, but when he starts crying or getting frustrated, you can't tell what he's saying. But on a good note, we have been asking questions and every once in a while we'll get a nod yes or no with some accompanying word that we can understand (like "do you want ANOTHER banana?" - he ate 2 today for dinner at the picnic today)
