Its all about Jax

We have, for awhile now, suspected that Jaxter has been attempting to communicate with us (its like you're trying to tell me something, I know it!) but he always fails to repeat the words that we think we hear so we've always brushed it off as coincidence. Desmond and Jaxter always play copy cat at meal times: both babble and yell with the other mirroring back the sequence. Jax has a lot of good consonant sounds but I've always chalked it up to imitation not actual communication... until today. You tell me what you think:



We have a song that we sing every morning (you'll hear it in the video). Its a camp song and when the last verse comes you are supposed (and so, of course, we do) lower your voice and sorta "chant" in a big voice: "The dew goes away." Desmond has long since loved this song because he gets to do the low voice part (we pause and visually prompt him to do his part)..... Jax has picked up on this as well, although, I haven't gotten a perfect video of it you can tell he knows what to do!



Another milestone: the classic So Big! Can't get enough of cute stuff like that.....
