Clicking Noises

Yay! More important (at least to Laura and I) baby accomplishments...

He's been smiling and screaming and (sort of) laughing for a little bit now, but a new sound has emerged from this little creature (and its not from the other end either). He has started making a 'clicking' type sound.... I can't write what it sounds like, but it is the noise you make when you call your cat or dog that "here kitty, kitty, tick, tick, tick" sound. We assume the reasoning for this is that we call Roxie (our dog) like that and he has picked it up... if he sees the dog or wants her attention he does the little ticking sound. The dog won't come to him, but she will look at him quizically. He does it slower than we do, but it's cute. He and the dog get along really well. He likes to 'pet' her, which means for him rubbing his hand on her head or back and periodically yanking at her hair and/or ears. She sits there and lets him do it (usually while giving me some sort of annoyed or dirty look) and doesn't growl or yipe or anything. Well, like I said... it's a small achievement, but one we are currently enjoying. Later!
