Oi!

I have been so neglect at doing this blog thing. I'm going to try to do better. It's been four months since I've been on and so much has happened. I'll share some of the highlights.

I finally got a camcorder on Black Friday (now I need to find the missing software to figure out how to use it). In December my parents surprized me with a visit from them the week of my birthday.

In January we purchased a 2007 Kia Rondo that my loving Aunt S. found for us. (Thank you Aunt S!) A had tubes put in her ears. She did very well, she cried and cried for the longest time right after the surgery. I took her from the nurse and she was so mad and hurt so bad. The nurse gave her tylenol and told us to give her motrin as soon as we got home. She fell asleep on the way home, but woke up and cried some more until her Aunt S. was able to rock her to sleep. That night you would have never known she'd had surgery that morning.

So far this month has been pretty quite. It's snowed twice, but it's gone already. A didn't get to play in this last snow, which was the best, because she was sick. My dh N, gave me a frog for Valentine's Day and I made dinner for him and his parents, brother, and sister.

The Cow says: "Moo"

Tonight I was reading A a book and I asked her what the cow said. At first she said "Woof, Woof" but when I told her the cow says Moo she kept saying Moo over and over. She would crinkle up her nose and shut her eyes tight and say "Moo" real loud. I have to get me a camcorder soon.

Salad?

I opened a new jar of salad dressing last night and this was the safety seal on the jar. What gets me is the statement right under "convenient shatterproof jar" is "makes a great salad." Sounds like the jar makes a great salad.

Bed Please!

Thursday night A was wanting something and I asked if she wanted a drink. She pushed it away, then pushed the food I offered away. I asked her if she wanted to go to bed and she signed "please." I got her ready, put her in her crib, said her prayers and goodnight, and walked out of the room. Moments later she was asleep. I never thought that A would ask me to put her to bed.

Junk Mail

I discovered last night what junk mail is good for. While your cleaning your kitchen and your one-year-old wants to "help" you give her pieces of junk mail (one at a time) to put in the trash. She feels she's helped and you get your cleaning done. :)

Woof, Woof

Two days ago A was wanting something and I asked her "What do you say?" I was hoping to get the response of her signing please. A looked at me and said, "Woof, Woof!"

A's new things

My little A is getting so big and learning so much. I've been trying to teach her some sign language. The other day at dinner she wanted something so I told her to say please. I didn't use the sign as I sometimes do, but she rubbed her chest the way I'd been teaching her to. I was so excited!

She says OH, NO!!; No, no, no; Bible; and just today: more. We'll still be working with her to either say or sign drink and eat.
