Snow Day and Baby Sign!

Jared lucked out with another snow day today! So he and Addy spent the day at home relaxing, playing, and taking naps. I am SO jealous!

With all the planned snow, it looks like our fun girls weekend is going to be put on hold. Addy is officially turning one on Sunday so I think we will have a fun snuggly family day with movies and staying warm.

With Chrismas just a few days away we are feeling very blessed to be a family of three! I have had all of my Christmas shopping done for a couple weeks, everything is wrapped and ready to go. I just need to make a grocery list and get the stuff to make a nice Christmas eve dinner for my fam. I will be sure to post lots of pics next week. Addy has an adorable little dress to wear and will look cute as can be!

Then next Friday, one of my friends who has been our photographer for Addys pictures over the past year is going to take pics of us out in the snow for her one year pictures! I finally found snowpants and boots for Addy J. Apparently you have to buy them at the beginning of the season or everyone runs out. It took me two weeks and twenty stores to find a pair the right size!

BABY SIGN...
Since Addy came home, I always thought I would do baby sign with her. I figured since I knew some ASL that it would be easy... Boy was I wrong! Trying to figure out how to sign while holding a baby food jar in one hand and a spoon in the other hand was a much bigger challenge than I anticipated. It took a much more conscious effort to try to sign to her. Well it is starting to pay off! She knows finished or all done and uses it appropriately. She knows more but only does it sometime since she has figure out if she points to the item that she will get more that way too. She has started signing milk for when she wants a bottle. It is pretty exciting and neat to see her absorbing information and then using it correctly! She babbles a lot but still does not say them for what they mean. She says mama and dada a lot but not in reference to us, although we like to think it is! She is such a little sponge and is so eager to learn new things!

Have a safe and warm weekend!
