Friday Night Fun
Whit, Ryan and I decided to walk through the field to the swings behind our house. Funny that we live so close but yet have never been to the swings with her. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that I do not like sweating and it has been terribly hot all summer!! Anyway, the three of us went to play on the swings and kill a few minutes before bed time. Whitney loved it and waved her arms and squealed the whole time!! We didn't last very long though because it was getting chilly quickly!!
A new development today is that Whit is making a new sound. She started off with ma ma which lets all face it, is totally her way of saying MAMA. Then she moved onto say bah bah all the time but today she said da da!!! I know she knows what it means too because she will say ma ma when she wants me to pick her up or is upset and said dada today when looking at Ryan!! She is "talking" constant though, I believe we could be in trouble when she learns more words....she is going to be a chatty kathy!!!
AND our hard work has paid off; Ryan, Jenny and I taught Whitney her first sign!!! I'll admit, I wasn't sure she was doing it intentionally before but she totally is now. You say, "more, more, more" and she does the sign for more. Tonight I was feeding her puffs and said, "Whit do you want more, more, more?" and she made the sign almost immediately!! She must have done it like 5 or 6 times in a row for us!!! We are moving on now :), She has mastered waving, clapping and the sign for more so it is onto a high five, fist bump and thank you!!!
Below is a video of Whitney doing the sign for more with Jenny today:)

Well her precious mommy was an early talker . . . 10 months old and people in restaurants would file past our table just to have a chance to talk to her :)
