Signing

It's been awhile between posts and it has been busy around the Harvey household. Brenna has been keeping us busy learning all sorts of new things including a few signs (sign language signs) to communicate with us. She practices the signs at daycare and then uses them at home to let us know what she wants or is trying to get. She uses the signs for "more" and "please" - especially when she has had something good to eat and she wants more of it. She also makes a little noise that sounds a little bit like "huh?" when she makes the signs. She is well mannered and regularly says please! She is demonstrating that sign in the kitchen (asking for more food of course) in this picture. She also knows the signs for daddy and mommy (she uses the daddy sign more) - it is absolutely adorable!
She has really been enjoying her books more and more and will often sit and read on her own. Her favorite page of this particular book about first words is the "on the farm" page. She likes to point to the animals and learn about the noises that they make. Brenna had her first night in a hotel this past weekend. Aunt Jamie debuted as a Mary Kay representative so we took a trip to Tucson to visit. Grandma Diane and Grandpa Dave were there too. She did pretty well considering she wasn't in her own bed - mommy on the other hand, had Brenna's head in her ribs most of the night. Oh well - those cuddles are worth it!
