Babychair seems to be signing !!!

We have been using signing to Babychair since she was a newborn. Just simple words...Mum, Dad, Milk, More, Time, Bed, Grandma, Grandad, Yes

In the last couple of weeks, I have become more and more convinced that Babychair has been trying to sign. She was signing 'Milk' whilst she was nursing recently and today she signed milk whilst not nursing i.e. Asking to nurse...how fantastic is that

I have started to use the sign for 'Toilet' to ask if she needs the potty and toilet and I'm using the British Sign Language(BSL) website dictionary and watching Something Special on TV with Babychair to get other signing ideas. Though Something Special uses Makaton not British Sign Language so I sometimes mix and match which signs we use.

My parents babysat Babychair last night so my husband and I could go out for a belated valentine's night out.

The night was lovely. We ate a three course meal at a local chinese and I had two glasses of red wine which made me a bit squiffy Followed by watching 'Hot Fuzz' a highly recommend comedy, the whole cinema was LOL thoughout the film.

Babychair was drinking expressed breast milk at home, she was asleep by the time we came home and wonders of wonders slept though the night, so I woke up with painfully swollen leaking full breasts.

I have just pumped 8ozs and now my breasts are merely semi-swollen and no pain...flipping heck...I must remember to pump and dump BEFORE I go to bed next time. Awaiting Babychair to wake up so she can drain the rest of the milk.

We had a wonderful night out, so a big thank you to Mum and Dad for babysitting and doing such a good job loving my little girl
