She started signing!

Well, I think that some people probably thought that I am crazy for doing sign language with Zoey (even my husband kind of rolled his eyes about it), but I think it will be really great for Zoey to be able to communicate with us before she is able to talk and tell us what she wants/needs, etc.
So, I started introducing some signs with her when she was around 7 months old. Nothing too elaborate, but I have been using the signs for "nurse, more, all done, and kitty" mostly. I could tell that was definitely picking up on what the sign for nurse meant, but it seemed like she was never going to actually do it. But a few days ago, she just crawled over to the couch where I was sitting, pulled herself up, and did it. So, I nursed her right away so that she would get the association, and she definitely gets it now. She has been signing it all the time these past few days, and she gets so happy and proud of herself. It's adorable. So now when I go get her from her crib in the morning, she will stand up and immediately sign to me that she wants to nurse. I just think that's so amazing that she is able to communicate with me. Maybe I am a little dorky, but I get so excited to see how much she is learning every day! It's like you can see the little wheels in her head turning and she's taking it all in.
