Quick Update

We have not had time to update this in 13 days. Life with Abigail is accelerating at an exponential rate. Here are a few of the things that are new in the past 2 weeks:

• Her English is coming at a quicker pace all of the time. She speaks "uh oh" when she does something accidentally (such as dropping her fork at dinner), "thank you" in appropriate situations, "more" often while signing it, "muh" which means milk, "I uh oo" is getting closer and closer to sounding like "I love you", and she says "no" while shaking her head.
  
  
  
• She is proficient at the signs for "down", "up", "milk", "more" and her newest one is "please."
  
  
• Her dog Jedi has died. (But she still approaches and pets dogs all the time in the park and on walks.)
  
  
  
• She wants to hold our hands, both of us, all of the time. She "shows love" by hugging, kissing, waving, nodding and giggling, climbing in laps to cuddle, and the hand holding.
  
  
• She met her grandmother "Grandma", Larry's mother and was crazy about her.
  
• She knows what sounds go with which pages in her favorite books and she can make those sounds as she "reads" the book.
  
  
• She can go to sleep on her own (thanks Grandma!!).
