Clap your hands!

I can barely keep up with Jayden and his developments.  This past Thursday (August 2nd) he started clapping.  Carmen called me from his car while he was driving Jayden to Julia's and said that Jayden was clapping along to Lenny Kravitz.  That night in the bathtub he started clapping again.  Every time he clapped, Carmen and I clapped and said "yayyyyy!!!"  We did that for probably five minutes (or it felt like five minutes, it was probably really only a minute or two).  It was hilarious.  And exhausting. 

Today, we put him in his walker to encourage him to move his legs and he figured out how to go backwards.  Apparently he does everything backwards first.  He did move forward, but only once or twice.  Carmen was trying to teach him how to move his legs forward and he was sort of getting it, but really just dragging his feet along.  Then we left him alone for a minute and he pushed himself backwards!
