to show off for someone she hasn't seen in awhile, she gets real shy. We ask her to show off what she knows and she clams up. I figured I would try to get some of her smarts on video. These are only a few of the many signs and animal sounds she has in her little bag of tricks.
Understand that "baby signs" as they are called are not all derived from the American Sign Language. It is just a way to talk with your baby before your baby can talk. It's so cool to see the comprehension babies have. Things you would never know they understood until months likely years later, with "baby signs" they show you what they know. For instance, when I left for work today I had a plastic cup in my hand. I was saying my goodbyes and Parker kept showing me the sign for flower. I was confused until I looked down and saw that there was a flower on my plastic cup. When we read books or they see things in our daily lives, they let you know that they know what you are saying.
Sydney now signs for more, all done, food, drink, fish, flower, dog, bird, kangaroo, spider, crab, duck, pig, elephant. She makes sounds for some owl and monkey. On and on.
Like I said in the last blog. Parker is surprising us every day with the things he has picked up along the way, too, He just isn't as much of a show off with these things. He uses them practically. Check this out! Just turn your head to the left. It's well worth the neck ache.
Since Parker started walking, Sydney has been working hard too. She sees how fast her brother is getting around and the excitment surrounding it. She will now walk with you only holding one hand and is starting to stand without holding on. Not too long and we will have two toddlers headed in different directions! Scary thought!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
