Signs at (almost) 18 months

Well it's been 5 months since my last baby signs update. Here is our current list, she learned quite a bit in 5 months and added many, many more verbal words as well. Some days she'll belt out complete sentences 'I did it' she'll say. You just have to listen close, which can be difficult with a 4 year old big brother stealing the show all the time!

Her favorite word is 'MINE' and she's very much into doing it herself!
I think she knows more signs than her brother at this age, but I have no written record I can find :( so now you know why I blog about these things....it helps me remember! I'm working on video-ing this, I have very little video of Carter signing :(

I would say we are at our peak for the signing, as she starts to use more and more words the signs become less and less used. I remember two of the last signs Carter used were Thank you (on the Halloween he was 2 is when he gave that one up) and more (he still uses it when his mouth is full!). He still knows the signs and does them with Skye and with me, sometimes he'll make some up as well.

That's quite an impressive list. Way to go Skye!

My mom says that my favorite saying was "I do it myself!" (don't forget to add the hand on the hip action)

Wow! That is just amazing. She is so smart. It was great spending time with all of you this weekend.

Miss you already!
