Liza's Signs


We've noticed that Liza is really beginning to sign more and more.  My favorite is when she sees me in the morning or when I come home from work, she signs Daddy.  I love it.  We have also been working with her to sign milk.  Usually, she tries to just go for it when we tell her to sign it, but more frequently she signs it now.
Earlier today we went to the library, and Eliza was just watching Johnny and us sign, and was trying to sign everything she saw.  Johnny  saw an alligator on a table and signed it to me.  Eliza saw that and laughed as she signed it over and over again.  I don't think she knows what all of those signs mean, but she knows that in our family, that is a way that we communicate.
She is growing so fast.  She went to the doctor's  today, and she is growing.  The doctor said that one of the things we should be seeing her do in the next couple of weeks is crawling.  Erica just informed him that she has been doing that for weeks.  He said the next thing that she will probably be doing by the next appointment is pulling herself up on things.  Erica let him know that she already does that too.  Apparently, our child is gifted and advanced for her age.  How many other 9 month olds out there crawl, pull themselves up on things, and talk?  Ok, I'm sure there are plenty out there, but we like to think that our Liza is pretty special.
