We’re having a mini sign explosion here!<\/p>\n
Today Carrie signed “ball” and “binky”. (There isn’t a standard ASL sign for “binky” (or pacifier) that I can find, it’s just something we made up because she was using “milk” sometimes when she really just wanted a binky – I just point my index finger to my mouth.) “Ball” was completely out of the blue – she was rolling a ball across the floor and I asked her if she was having fun playing with her ball. She signed “ball” right back to me, and that’s not one I’ve really used all that consistently lately. She also signed “shoes” yesterday. I think. At least, she banged her fists together and tried to take my shoes off my feet. So I think that’s “shoes”.<\/p>\n
So Carrie now has a vocabulary of 7 or 8 signs, not counting waving bye-bye. And all but three she’s picked up in the past week!<\/p>\n
Oh, and there’s a funny thing she’s been doing lately. Every morning I ask her if she has any teeth in her mouth and stick my finger in there to check. (Brave, I know.) Now if you ask her if she has any teeth in her mouth she sticks her own finger in her mouth. But no teeth yet. My brother says I ought to stop pushing them back in, because I check so often.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
