Signs and Steps

Some time ago Ellie learned the sign for milk. I was very determined to teach her this. Since she was tiny I would make this gesture prior to feeding her milk. I don't remember at exactly what point it occurred, but out of the blue she started copying my gesture. Now just about every time she has milk she does this.

FYI- this video has an extra special moment in it. We caught Ellie taking a step. She is taking one to two steps at a time by herself now.

Hooray for Ellie. A twofer, signing and walking in one video. You have to be careful not to turn the camera away too soon. Almost missed that one.

Such a prodigy! Walking and talking at the same time!

Don't forget to add the sign for "please" because saying please will be kind of second nature.

I keep going back to the main page on the video, thinking wow...put blonde hair on her and she looks just like Nick at that age.

Look at you go girl!
