baby girl has just turned 14 mo.s & she’s growing…almost as fast as her hair! we had it professionally cut a cpl wks ago & the other day we all stopped by maxie’s family hair salon to give maxie a thank-u gift: a framed pic of angel & how good her hair looks.

she has been pickin’ up on those signs, it seems, left & right! all it takes is for me (& help from ricky & bray) to remember to keep signing things ev. day while i say them. consistency can do wonders. what can she sign now, u ask? well let’s see ~

on her own, used in context

• i’m sleepy
• i’m poopy
• i’m done
• i want down
• yeah!
• daddy
• i’m hungry (also sign for “eat”)

with suggestive help

• more
• mommy
• milk
• brother (she made up a sign) & says, “buh”

learning this week

• i’m thirsty (or “drink”)
• bath

wow, that’s pretty doggone good!

we are so proud of our lil smarteepants!
