Wow!


Wow. It's been along time since I've posted anything.. and so much has happened!

Tonight as I was getting her dinner ready she came into the kitchen, did the sign for "eat" and said something that sounded very much like "eat". She was ready. So, I scooped her up into her chair and started feeding her carrots - which she rarely likes, but tonight it was yummy, yummy. Her ability to communicate just continues to increase - practically every day. She is getting more signs to the point where she can use them (eat, water, milk, more and of course shaking her head "no"). She also has a number of words that are really close to being said and used. She points all the time and I'm beginning to understand why they become frustrated - she is clearly pointing at something, it just isn't always clear to me and she doesn't understand why I don't understand. Hopefully as she learns more signs the frustration won't increase (hers, nor mine).

Tomorrow Grandma Sally and Grandpa De come from Florida, so the next couple of days should be really fun!
