baby sign language

I am happy to say that Thing 2 has been highly conversational in the last couple of weeks, using baby signs. All I have to do is mention the words and she does the sign. Of course when it comes to eating and asking for more, both Thing 1 and Thing 2 do them on their own without prompting.

Signs that Thing 2 knows and does regularly:
-more
-eat
-good night
-stinky (we made this up - she pinches her nose)
-milk

Thing 1 knows all of the above as well, but she's too stubborn to use them regularly.

I've been trying to video tape either Thing 1 or Thing 2 doing each of the signs but no luck yet.

CORRECTION: Note that it's Thing 2 that does the signs regularly, not Thing 1. Thanks to Daddy for catching the mistake. With all these Things, I'm getting confused. :-)

Hands Off!

The twins got their 3rd RSV shot this morning, and their first flu shot. Hopefully the flu shot provides some immediate protection, as we suspect Daddy's cold that took him down from Monday thru Wednesday was really the flu.

This little red sign was a gift from the makers of the RSV shot and I love it! It saves me from having to tell people not touch the girls, especially when I pick up Big Bro. Though I don't have to worry about Big Bro's class mates gathering around the stroller and touching the twins when I pick him up from pre-school, I now have to worry about adults touching them when I leave them in the hallway and I'm not around.
