Pink Bows and Tiny Toes

I know you're all very aware of my laughs, occasional cries, and famous shrieks , but did you know I can really communicate in ways besides this blog? Not only do I know a few words now, but I'm getting pretty good with my baby sign language too! You know about baby sign language, right? It's for smart kids like me who know what we want to say, but just can't make our mouths do it yet because they're not developed enough to be able to form words. The words I can say are: mama, dada , ball, balloon (sounds like ba - oon ), bye bye, baby, wow, owl, yes, hi, bow wow, and something for airplane that doesn't sound like "airplane." Like I mentioned, I'm also learning baby signs. The words I can "sign" are: please, more, all done, bath, book, milk, and blanket (I'm just learning that one). I'm trying to work on water, thank you, and sleep, but I don't have those down yet. I can also nod my head for yes and shake my head for no. Like...

Hola amigos y amigas! I'm working on my Spanish now--two languages down, six to go! :) I'm finally catching up on my blog. So sorry I haven't written in so long. I have been spending so much time learning to walk that I just haven't had the energy to write! I took my first steps on Friday, August 3rd. I was in the aiport waiting for Mama's bags to come and I decided to show off in front of everyone! I can now take 6-7 steps without any help between Mama and Dada. I can even stop, and then keep going, and once I even turned and looked back at Mama, then turned back and kept walking to Dada! I hope you've all seen the two videos of me walking. If you haven't, tell Mama and Dada and they'll send them to you. Grammy and Aunt Betsy Visit I had such a good time when Grammy and Aunt Betsy came to town! I have fun with them... they spoil me!! They played with me and read me lots of books, and they even took me to the park to swing! In the evenings when Dada go...

It's Dada Week! Mama is in Dallas visiting her family, sleeping in, and relaxing, so Dada and I have been hanging out. We've had a ton of fun, but I do miss my Mama a lot. I'm so happy I get to see her tomorrow!! Dada and I have done lots of things together--we went to Lowe's and the grocery store on Wednesday morning. Then, after my nap, Dada took me to see the National Counterterrorism Center! It was really cool for a minute, but then I pretty much hated it. Too many new faces up in my face, and none of them were my Momma's! I cried almost the entire time we were there, and didn't smile once. I don't think I'll have a "desk job" when I grow up! Needless to say, we didn't hang around there too long! We got home and I got to play with all my toys, and that helped. Then for dinner that night, we both had frozen pizza and that was good--definitely got me feeling better! Today was really fun! We got up and had breakfast, and then Dada took me ...
