What's That All About?

One of the most endearing things that AJ has been doing lately is to make the "what's that all about" gesture where he has his arms at his sides, bent at the elbows with palms up at shoulder level. It is the universal gesture for "what are you doing?" Joe, Kari and I all claim that we did not teach AJ this gesture, so as best we can tell, it must be one of those that is innate in all humans. AJ uses it to mean "where did the kitty go?", "why am I out of water?", "what is that squirrel doing in the yard?" and dozens of other things each day. Sometimes it is accompanied by a no-no shake of the head back and forth. I can't wait for AJ to talk, because based on his gestures, I think he will have some humorous things to say.
