Daphne waves and signs "fish" all the time, now. She understands that "fish" can be the toys in the bathtub, or her favorite snack. So she signs that a lot. She has her own sign for "more" (slowly clapping her hands together), and lets me know she's done in her high chair by waving her hands in the air, her version of "all done." So cute! She also signs "goodbye" by waving, of course, and it's her favorite thing to do. She's so stinkin' cute; I often tie her on in one sling or another and kind of forget she's there for a few minutes. The past couple of days while she's been in the sling, she's made a point of turning around and waving while saying "ba ba!" whenever we leave a friend, school, the store, etc. She wants to be noticed, and she has something to say! Yesterday we got frozen yogurt with a couple of friends who have 4 month old babies. They were in their carriers, and Daphne made a point to lean in and wave at them. She's such a social little thing. Also, she plays very well by herself. While I'm at home cleaning or something she's very happy to sit in a pile of toys and find mischief. She also loves books and being read to. Love this baby!
She'll ONLY feed herself, thankyouverymuch:
But knows it's naughty (her "ah ah ah!" sign):
Meanwhile, Violet is growing up SO FAST! She is a writer, I tell you. She can write pretty much every letter on her own, so to write cards she just needs help spelling. She MUCH prefers markers over crayons. Messier, brighter, what's not to love? Here's a sample of her best writing to date: it's a birthday card to her cousin Claire.
Cute things Violet still says:
Hop-grasser (grasshopper)
Her went to the store
I don't correct her grammar often. That will come soon enough, and her little girl speak will be gone forever. Sniffle.
A final note: I'm not sure when this blog entry was started, but it's 6:21pm on 2/7 right now. Daphne just did her first poo poo in the potty. Bummer that it was preceded by her first poop in the tub, much to her delight and Violet's absolute HORROR. Here I thought I'd just sit here and get some blogging done while the girls played together in the tub. Instead, everything is wet and I had to clean out the tub. Ah. It was pretty funny, though. Glad I wasn't in there, heehee. So forgive the formatting. I'm just going to hit publish before it gets any crazier here.
