Eden sometimes gets frustrated when we don’t understand her, I think. One day she was sitting in her booster seat and she wanted to leave the table. She started screeching and flapping her hands. (When she tries to do the baby sign for “I’m done,” it looks like she is trying to take flight). So I told her to wait, and “exercise your patience muscles.” Then I flexed for her and said, “Ugggh!” But she imitated me right back. (She doesn’t imitate us very often yet). Ever since then, she has had the idea that it’s socially acceptable to say “Ugggh!” and clench her fists to show that she doesn’t want to be patient. ๐ It looks like she’s throwing a tantrum to end all tantrums, but really she’s just trying to do what I accidentally taught her.
We had dinner with our friends JB and Hillary tonight. Eden wandered around their house and played with their kids. She is so easy to take care of. At church we don’t have to worry about her much because of all the families around us that take her in. She just walks right up to people, and sometimes they start playing with her, and then we don’t see her for half an hour. Wouldn’t it be great if all our kids were that easy?

That’s hilarious. Get a video of that. I guess we’re lucky that Kiera will talk or sign to us and that we understand her most of the time. And of course, we think she’s a baby genius. She was slow to hit physical milestones like rolling over, crawling, and walking, but she sure is a smart cookie! ๐
It’d be nice if someone from our ward took Kiera during church for half an hour. Then I’d actually get something out of the meeting! She spends most of the time in the hallways going back and forth as fast as her little legs will take her.

That is really cute. Micah is frustrated that I don’t understand him, for sure. The kid won’t do signing and won’t talk. When will he just cooperate???
