Enough Hair for a Bow

Our little angel has enough hair to hold a bow...if she holds very still. I love watching her grow, as gradually as the hair on her head. She learns so fast!

One thing we do with our little girl is sign words as we speak them. Oh, we're no experts, but we picked up several useful day-to-day signs, like "mom", "dad", "food", "please", "thank you", "play", and so on. We started signing with her months ago, and it seemed like ages before she understood what we were doing.

Now it seems that she is hungry for more. Yesterday, she learned two new signs, "home", and "boat". She gets so excited when she can communicate. We were walking through Smith's grocery store, which is usually a delight because Abigail charms everyone she sees by calling out "Hi!" and "Hiyo!" We had finished paying for our food and Abigail started signing "shoes", which perplexed me because we were in a grocery store.

"Abigail," I said, "I don't see any shoes."

She pointed fiercely toward the camera bar and shouted, "Daa!" then continued to sign "shoes".

Sure enough, on a rotating rack were dozens of pairs of fluffy slippers. Each day something new, each day some growth, just like the beautiful pale curls growing so subtly on her head. I do love the daddy job.

 

From M. Nelson: E.R. was like that--he charmed absolutely everyone in the stores. He would say, "day-doo" (thank-you) to the checkers and they thought we had the greatest baby ever! Abigail is adorable.

From Dave Kennedy: Your recent posts almost make me want to have kids Kieth. :-)

I'm trying to improve my blog myself, but I want to do it myself. I thought 'Who do I know and respect who has their own blog? Keith Rimington!' So, I must know, how do you do it? I've recently discovered the joys of MS SQL Server and asp.net at work. I see huge potential. But I don't know if this is the best course of action or not for personal use. What do you use for your 'Home-Grown' blog?

Take Care Keith. :-)

From Momrim: Our children can always humble us! They often know more than we do! :-)
