Hand Waving

Elisa and I tried since early on to get Eden to communicate with hand signals. Lots of babies are able to say simple things with signs long before they know how to speak. Eden just never got it though. For example, we would hold our hands in front of us and spin them while we said, “ALL DONE???” From the 6 month mark until now she never would do the sign back to us when she was done eating. She would just whine until we got her down. Then finally a couple weeks ago she did the sign to us. She shook her hands around really frenetically. We asked “All done?” and she did it even harder. I think she was pleased that we understood her. Ever since then she has been using the sign more often. Within about two days, communication broke down again. She was having so much success with the sign that she started using it for “more” and “I’m hungry” and “I want to move.” We pretty much don’t understand her anymore when she makes the sign. It was almost the beginning of better communication with her, but it ended up being just a near miss. We aren’t giving up quite yet. We are still trying to help her communicate. Babbling to us seems to be her method of choice still.

In the last week she has started to give us a one-handed wave for “hello” and “goodbye” and “good night.” It’s really cute. It’s easier on her if Elisa and she wave goodbye before Elisa leaves for night classes.

Eden wants to sit with me at the laptop. Here’s another one of her attempts to communicate.

I wish to express my appreciation to this writer just for rescuing me from such a issue. Just after browsing throughout the world wide web and meeting tips which are not pleasant, I figured my life was done. Being alive without the presence of solutions to the issues you have resolved by way of your main blog post is a critical case, as well as those that would have adversely affected my entire career if I had not encountered your web blog. That mastery and kindness in controlling every item was useful. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had not come across such a thing like this. I can at this point look ahead to my future. Thanks very much for the skilled and result oriented help. I will not think twice to refer your web page to any person who wants and needs assistance on this area.

Ahhhhhhh, now I understand your antipathy to the Latin MassL the whole divorced-left-the Church thing that made you turn to the Epispos ( Catholic Light )You Epispos brought all your troubles down upon your own selves, so have no one else to blame. If you don’t start performing radical surgery on your ‘religion’, it will quickly and quietly disappear within the next few years

Changing eyelets is a PAIN – I'd stick to just changing the buckles.I have to alter all my strapped dresses because my torso is super short. Because I have to buy for my chest size, the straps always end up being miles too long.

My brain went to various analogies relating to Luke flying his X-Wing down the channel/furrow/gully/groove of the Death Star, switching his targeting computer off and using the force to drop the torpedo in just the right spot. *sigh* Randy at work – again.

I would like to show my appreciation to you for rescuing me from this particular predicament. Just after exploring through the online world and meeting strategies which are not beneficial, I thought my entire life was over. Being alive without the presence of approaches to the difficulties you’ve sorted out through your entire post is a serious case, as well as the kind which could have badly affected my entire career if I hadn’t encountered your web site. The knowledge and kindness in controlling all the stuff was helpful. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had not come upon such a thing like this. I can also at this time look forward to my future. Thanks for your time so much for your reliable and result oriented help. I will not hesitate to propose your web sites to anyone who should have guidelines on this area.

Not going back to WoW; I quit years ago. I like the model, though; sort of like a female dwarf, but a bear. I’d roll one if I still played. I like the face on the top one; the second one looks too dopey and teddy bear-like.

Smells do that for me. Everytime I get a whiff of diesel exhaust in the wintertime, it always snaps me back to my first year at Fort Riley. Coca cola used to remind me of teenage summers in the Missouri heat but it has been years since I’ve had any. GERD makes consumption problematic. Respects,MurphOn the Outer Marches

black Duggars! I don’t even want the ParaGard (no hormones). That thing may get lost and I will not be having anyone digging all in my business trying to get it out. The anxiety I felt before getting my Mirena removed was enough. I was scared it was gonna be stuck.

Minun henk koht kokemukseni natriumglutamaatista ovat erilaiset sipsiherkkuset ja niistä saatu suuri päänsärky. Laukaisee tämä ihana aine myös säryn kuulemma. Minullekin, jota päänsärky todella vähän elämässä vaivaa.Jos ei muuta, niin tuo lisäaine kannattaa bongata pois.
