What a cutie!

What does Abbie do all day besides be a cutie? She practices sign language. She knows:

milk - her first sign. She's been doing this one for months.
daddy - her second sign. She does this a lot as she spends most of her day thinking about Daddy.
eat - usually followed by pointing to item. This sign is a bit confusing as it's not always clear if Abbie wants to eat the food or if she's just letting us know that food can be eaten.
more
sleepy (she rarely uses this sign)
walk (ok, she doesn't actually use this sign but when Mommy uses it Abbie giggles and points to either the stroller or the backpack)
done - this one is really cute because she curls her finger and says "duh"
book - Mommy misinterpreted this sign at first. She thought Abbie was signing 'ball' but later determined she was signing 'book'. Realizing who her parents are, it makes more sense that Abbie would want a book and not athletic equipment.
mommy - she doesn't sign this one nearly enough. But nothing is better than seeing Abbie sign 'mommy'.
