hanging around

This is a pilot test for a new feature on our family blog... VIDEO!!! As you can see, I’m still working on the layout part. This video shows Evelyn doing one of her favorite things, hanging around. If she can hang on something, she does. She uses our counter, our table, her crib, my pull-up bar (featured here) and her favorite place is at the playground where the bars are thinner and she can get a better grip. In this video you'll se an example of how Evelyn is learning to sign. After I put her on the ground, she starts saying 'gin' 'gin.' If you look at her hands while she says this, she is poking her index finger into the opposite palm. This is the sign for 'again.' She's so smart. She also says a few cute things like Mississippi, I love you, and happy birthday. It’s hard to hear so you’ll have to turn up the volume. Jessica is a little embarrassed at the way she sounds so don’t tease her (well… not too much anyway). Enjoy!
