New words, new signs and new habits

I've never done a "words" post before because they haven't really talked much at all until recently. They still aren't saying much yet but there vocabulary is increasing. Here are some of the more recent words they say.

Ball (Ba ba ba ba ba) - Whitney and Tyler
Book (Ba ba ba ba) - Whitney
Dog (Da Da da da) - All
Shoes (sha sha sha sha) - All
Poopy (pa pa) - Tyler
PaPaw (Paa paa) - Tyler
Mommy (Ma ma) - All
Daddy (Da da) - All
Hi (ha ha) - Whitney
Cat (cat) - Hannah
What's that (dat dat dat) - Whitney

I'm sure there are more but this is all I can think of right now.

We just recently started working with them on a few basic signs to help them better communicate with us. Whitney is my best signer by far. She can sign sleep, eat and drink. Tyler can sign sleep and drink. Hannah can sign drink but still prefers scream and cry for her drink rather than sign for it. We also continue to practice eating with spoons and have been learning to eat with forks for a few weeks now.

Also, Tyler and Whitney are really starting to enjoy giving us kisses. Hannah loves to hug Lacy (the dog). Whitney and Hannah also love to dance. I have a little song I sing to them - singing their name basically and they almost always start swaying side to side immediately. It is so cute.

Wow, six new posts since I last checked. You've been busy. I had no idea all that was at the new Allen shopping center. My kids would love it. I am so glad Whitney has decided that she, too, wants to be cool and start walking.

Yeah, I blogged so little the month of July because of the moving stuff, I figured I had some catching up to do. :)

Yeah for vocabulary!! Before you know it they'll be talking up a storm and you will be saying, "Shhh..." ;)
