Carrie picked up two new signs and a spoken word yesterday. She can now sign and say “apple”, and she figured out the sign for “bath”. Oh, and she recently learned the sign for “peaches”, too, although that’s a dangerous sign. Instead of signing it on her cheek, she signs it on the side of her head…which is really bad if she’s already had some peaches and her fingers are sticky! It’s funny, we couldn’t get her to repeat “apple”, but she said it clearly as she signed it, and then grabbed an apple out of the fruit basket on my parents’ counter. My mom thinks Carrie knows how to verbalize a lot of words, but waits to say things to us until she can say them perfectly. I don’t know when she’d be practicing, though, because we can hear her over the baby monitor whenever she’s in her crib.<\/p>\n
In other news, Carrie now gets a plate at dinner instead of having her food put directly on her tray. I was expecting plates to go flying across the kitchen, but you know what? She does really well with it unless she doesn’t want anything on the plate or she’s done eating. She’s also learning how to manage a spoon, and a fork in very closely supervised circumstances. I know all of this is good and important, but she looks so grown up it makes me a little sad. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
