Whoa!

Last night, my sinuses started filling up, and I started to feel like general shit, so I went to bed early. When Ingrid woke to nurse, dave brought her in and left her with us, which was fine — I slept really well, actually. This morning, Dave and Ingrid were awake, and I was sort of half waking up and Ingrid made the ‘nurse’ sign. (or ‘milk,’ technically, but we say nurse when we make it) I was kind of "oh, I’m not awake enough to notice that, so it probably didn’t happen" when Dave said "did she just sign ‘nurse?’" OMG! The alert, empty sinused one noticed, too?! There you go. Ingrid made the nurse sign.

We also think she might be doing ‘more’ but it seems out of context. We only really use it when she’s eating in her highchair, but this morning, I did the "wanna get mama’s glasses?" routine, and she looked at the nightstand and possible signed ‘more.’ Or when she has toys, or we have toys… maybe it’s like ‘yes’ or ‘I want’ to her? In the last two days, it seems more deliberate than accidental collision of hands.

Waiting for an offer today, and I feel like shiiiiiit. I guess this is as good a time as any to feel like crap, but it means we’re missing storytime, which would probably have been my last one. 🙁 I’ve loved storytime. That makes me sad.

  1. According to my mom my specialty was “more cookie please” but I don’t know how old I was. I guess they were early adapters to be teaching me to sign in 1980, huh? Very cool, though. Go Ingrid!
