"More" "Peas"

Since you were very tiny, we would do simple signs with you, Katy. We would sign the words, "More," "Thank You," "Girl," "Hungry," etc. We had never seen you do any of these signs back to us so we didn't think that the whole baby sign language was sinking in. That is, until last week. Out of the blue, you started tapping your hands together in the sign of "More" when you wanted more of something- more food, more drink, more rough-housing with Daddy. You like to sign "More" and say "More!" at the same time.

Also, we've been working on your manners, lately. We've been telling you to say "Please" and "Thank you" at meal times or when you want something. Now, you say, "Peas!" when you are hungry and want food. One afternoon, you were sitting in your high chair, practically falling out trying to reach for the pantry as you said, "Peas, Peas, peas." You were trying to tell me you were HUNGRY and wanted FOOD!
