Signing and playing


so we have been trying to teach Abby sign language and although I had great aspirations I started to get discouraged when she was not signing back. Recently we were surprised when all of a sudden she started to sign to us. She now signs to play, I want, booby(anna's sign she taught her), Food, drink, more, and play. Just the other day while we were at our day care provider"s house she was doing this thing with her hands and I commented on it and Diana(Daycare provider) said that she was signing she wanted to play. Well I was very excited so we are tripling our efforts and Diana, who really is the one who taught her to sign, is teaching me which new signs we are working on next.
This first picture is her signing for "more play"
Our new game that I like to play with her is I will get on all fours and kiss her and then crawl away and she likes to chase me. She also for some reason has taking to teething on my forehead. Of course she likes to have me give her raspberries and her favorite thing is for me to hide around the corner







and jump out and scare her. Just look at both of us and the pure enjoyment on that child's face.

of course I am not as cool as her older brothers because she can just sit and be near them for hours.

They are so good with her that both Anna and I learn from them!

Justine and Joseph have taught Abby about her Little tunnel and now it is favorite thing to play hide and seek with her big brothers. It is truly amazing to see the interaction here is her tunnel

And the boys will have her walking soon they have got her walking with this little toy

What good big brothers Abby has! She is a lucky lucky girl. Until she wants to have a boyfriend. Then she's screwed.
