Anything you can do....
Two days ago, during an iChat session with Nanna and G-Daddy, Isaac and I got into a little staring match. I would stick out my tongue, he would try very hard to imitate me, and then give a squeal of frustration, some of which were loud and long. It happened for probably about a minute. It was really the first time I had stuck out my tongue at him (though I had been making fart sounds for a while). Alas, Isaac just couldn't reciprocate with his tiny tongue.
Last night I came home to the usual greeting--Mom holding a snuggly Isaac standing at the door waiting for me to come in. I opened the door said hello to Bianca and then tried to catch Isaac's eye for a big smile. He gave me the smile and then, without me doing anything, he stuck his tongue out at me. It was unmistakable and completely different from his usual tongue twisting exercises. Then I stuck my tongue out at him and he did the same thing again. Even the skeptical scientist admitted this was for real. She also noted that he had not done that at all during the day, meaning that he had saved it up for me, his taunter from the night before.
Try as I might I could not catch it on video or in picture form. Towards the end of the night he wouldn't do it. I was fearful that it was a fluke. But then this morning when I was in the bathroom getting ready, Mom brought Isaac in and again he gave me a big smile and stuck out his tongue. Bianca commented that not only is it funny that he can do that, but also that it is funny that he associates that action with me.
I am a very proud Dad.
