Eve is getting pretty good at baby signs
lately and yesterday even put together a phrase! We were
visiting with Jim & Julie and eating Kimball’s ice
cream (yummy!!). Eve, my little beggar, was standing next to
me, sharing my ice cream. She would point at the ice cream and
grunt, but when I said “do you want more?” she’d do the sign
for more. Then she started doing the sign without the grunting
:) Then she did the signs for “eat” and “more” then pointed at
the ice cream. I think that counts as a 3 “word” communication!
Good baby girl!

As an aside, I was a
very bad mommy. I was eating chocolate peanut butter ice cream
and we were talking about how Julie doesn’t eat chocolate now
because it make Molly fussy. We were laughing and eating and
after several minutes I realized that I was feeding Eve
chocolate PEANUT BUTTER ice cream! Bad mommy!!! Of course I
realized this just after she did her impressive 3-sign request
:/ I had to make her go beg daddy for ice cream. Luckily she
was really only licking my spoon, not getting much ice cream in
her, and either didn’t get any or at least not enough of the
peanut butter to cause a problem. It reconfirms my thoughts
that if she does have an allergy to peanuts it isn’t too severe
of one. I am still very eager to get the testing done so we
know for sure! And I’ll try hard to remember that peanut butter
is peanut butter, even if it’s in super delicious ice
cream!
