For the past month, Sophie has started signing with us to communicate. She's not speaking yet - not even mama or dada - but she has found a way to 'talk' to us. She can sign more, eat, light, dog, hat, up, all done, and no. She has also signed a complete sentence: eat more (that's my girl!). We are working on the difference between eat and drink as well as bath, water, and yes. It's pretty cool to watch her learn and you can see it in her eyes when she gets it and how proud she is of herself. I'm pretty proud of her too!
In other news, Baby C2 is doing well and growing like a weed. I'm sure she must be 5 pounds now - at least that's what it feels like! She was 1lb 5oz a few weeks ago, so maybe she's closer to 2lbs now. She is kicking me all the time and I think she's going to be a ninja at the rate she's going. Benoit and I are desperately working on naming this baby before she arrives but can't seem to settle on just one name. We like several, but it's so hard to commit! We've ordered her baby furniture and bedding so far and will move Sophie out of her room in a week or so. Sophie is moving to the old guest room, which has been freshly painted a soft shade of green called 'Spring Reflection'. I want to get Sophie in her new room well before the baby arrives to ease the transition as much as possible.
Our next big trip is to LA (as in Lower Alabama) for Easter, so stay tuned for updates and pics!
