Baby Sign Language

I have an email that comes to me each week called Baby Center newsletter (I think that's what its called) Anyway, it's a week by week update on how my baby should or could be developing. It also talks about baby safety, baby sickness, being a mom, just a bunch of stuff. I actually started to get it when I was pregnant. Week by week it talked about the developing baby. Well, every week at the end of the email there is always something funny and I thought this baby sign language was cute. Elley has all of these signs down....especially the "please change my diaper" sign. Hope you all enjoy this as much as I did!!!!

Your baby can learn sign language!

Here's how to say:

• "Please change my diaper": Turn beet red and make straining expression, then smile.
• "I'd like something to eat, please": Cram fist in mouth and suck wildly.
• "I'm tired": Make a series of weeping gestures before closing eyes and lolling head backward.
• "Please pass me that thing up there that I can't reach": Point and grunt, then continue pointing and open mouth into screaming position.
• "No thank you, I think I've had enough": Throw food or object to floor with exaggerated grin.

Burrrrrrr.......it's cold out here

Last weekend Mason, Hannah, and Mara came over to spend the night with their Aunt Keely. We had such a good time!!!! It was kind of a kick off to the Holiday season. Friday night we stayed up and watched Unaccompanied Minors, which is a movie that takes place during the Christmas break. It's about a bunch of kids that are trying to fly places for their Christmas vacation but a storm quickly blows in and all flights are delayed until further notice. Anyway, it was a cute movie and we had fun watching it.
Then Saturday we all bundled up and went to the Winter Wonderland Parade here in town. We also met Elley's friend Ava and her mom there. It was so cold......we put lots of layers on and took about 5 blankets. It wasn't so bad when we got out of the car and walked to our place, but when we stopped to watch the hour long parade it got a little cold! Elley got a little board toward the end and Mason, Hannah, and Mara were cold but nobody was complaining on the way home when they were eating all the yummy holiday candy they got from the parade. After that we all went to our house and had hot chocolate to warm us up.
We all had a fun weekend!!!!! I love living so close to family giving us so many chances to be together. Thanks for come to visit your Aunt Keely Mason, Hannah, and Mara....I Love You!!!
