Several friends had it hanging in their homes, and I think we got one also.<BR/><BR/>You have no worries about Elizabeth and language. Babies do different things at different times, and can't learn everything at once. She obviously has been developing full speed ahead in many areas. She's even starting to sing! One day soon when she's a little less busy doing other things, she will suddenly have a few new words and then a few more. When that happens it might be fun to keep a piece of paper on the fridge so you can jot them down as they come. It will be good baby book fodder.<BR/><BR/>Well, thanks for the post. It was SO fun catching up on everything.<BR/><BR/>Love, KatheyKatheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415822375877762820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145150938922509338.post-3286486246588554992008-11-04T11:47:00.000-08:002008-11-04T11:47:00.000-08:00Cara's kids all know/knew sign language since they...Cara's kids all know/knew sign language since they were infants. Cara and Jacob used to sign for the deaf ward in their area. A couple of weeks ago, Cara was very ill, no voice whatsoever. So she remembered signing. Only the 2 littlest ones were home and Cara needed some water. She signed water. The littlest smiled and she knew he knew that she was signing but he did not remember what the sign was for. so he goes to get his next oldest bro. The scene repeats...and the results were the same. So Cara dragged herself off the couch and got her own water...determined to reactivate the signing.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300961190388848899noreply@blogger.com
