It wasn't until my friend Kathy (Claire's mom) brought to my attention that Addison's language skills are really progressing! She's not interested in walking, but boy can she jibber jabber and have a conversation! Her latest word is HI! She started doing this on the cruise, and it was hysterical. When we would get on the elevator, she would greet a lucky stranger with a huge HI! Her signing has really started to increase as well. She's currently signing MORE so often throughout the day, sometimes we can't figure out what she wants more of! Usually it's something on the counter that she's eyed, like a glass of water. We think when she signs "more" she means "I want that! Give it to me!" The other night she started signing MORE when she saw my glass of wine!
Another frequent sign she does is "All Done." It's the cutest thing to watch her do it, she flips both hands outward, right up near her face, then pauses, with her hands frozen in the position. Chris and I laugh every time she does it!
She continues to sign BIRD and EAT (not together!) and recently she's learned BATH. I've also taught her how to wave her hand in front of her nose when she poops, and I always say "Stinky Poopy!" so now when she poops, she waves her hand in front of her nose!
I'm signing tons more that she hasn't picked up yet, but it will come when we least expect it, I'm sure. Now if she would only take a step...
