Our dear little babbler hasn't picked up too many real words yet, but she is picking up sign language quite well. We started with "please", then added "eat" (see picture), she also knows "Thank You" and "more." These seemed like the most useful words to teach her. It is cute to see her in the morning show me "eat" and then we get breakfast. She loves to ask for snacks in the afternoon and will "eat" "eat" "eat" all afternoon. Her cousin Tessa came to play Friday night. They both have these cute pink Dordt nalgenes. They were both taking a drink at the same time, but I missed it. I tried several times to get them to do it together again, but then it got to be this goofy game and they started trading bottles to share germs, I think.

I was putting dishes away one afternoon and looked outside to see 3 deer in our driveway. They spent about 20 minutes crossing the street, checking out the neighbors bushes, then investigating the fence before heading back into the woods behind our house. It was quite interesting!!
