So when I was pregnant, I was so adamant about baby sign language to help Nora and us communicate together. Starting at 6 months, we tried “food,” “sleep,” “milk,” and “more.” As a working Mom we weren’t around Nora enough to continue the sign language and we didn’t really push our Moms or sitters to sign to Nora so we thought it was pretty much a lost art.
This week - at 17 months - she made the sign for “more” [while saying more] for food! It’s a little ironic since she can ask for more, but suddenly signing for it also. We aren’t sure if maybe out sitter is signing to Nora - ? Either way, we are proud of her.
Additionally, Nora’s vocabulary has rocketed the past two weeks - she repeats everything we say and remembers many phrases; “Daddy’s car!” “Mommy tired.” Of course we think she ’s brilliant : )

This afternoon we went to Miami Meadows - east of here down Route 131. It’s a big clear space for soccer games, a playground and a dog park. Nora met a friend named Mackenzie. Mackenzie was 20 mos old and not quite as social. Nora just loves people [a new word she likes] and enjoyed walking with Mackenzie. The two girls simply walked around while myself and Mackenzie’s Mom followed the girls - they were all so nice and were from Loveland and maybe we’ll see them again at the park!
