She said Bailey!!!

This morning when I went to get Delanah from her crib she was standing up and signing "bird" like crazy. Piper was squawking and Delanah heard it for sure! Bay followed me in and went straight to the crib to give Delanah kisses through the slats, as is done every time Bay comes in to see Delanah and she is in the crib. I got Delanah out and we were walking around and Bay laid down to get some belly scratches. I have been repeating Bailey's name for some time now, hoping Delanah would pick up on it, and clear as anything Delanah looks at Bay and says "Bailey"! SO exciting!!!

Delanah has really been picking up on signs a lot in the last few weeks and communicates quite well now. Just in the last few days she really caught on to the sign for dog. I know I should be sitting her down and teaching her her colors and the alphabet, but with her signs we're all a lot less frustrated than many families I know because we can communicate. Okay, maybe today we'll start on the alphabet :)
