Makenna knows a few signs in ASL which has been a lot of fun b/c she can communicate with me more clearly than she otherwise would be able to. One of her favorite (and first) signs is "bird." Anytime she hears a bird or sees a bird, her thumb and pointer finger instantly tap together to sign, "bird." Shane being the awesome dad that he is, decided they would have a Saturday project of building a bird feeder together, to hang outside our dining room window so she could see even more birds.
Makenna had fun banging the hammer and helping (that term is loosely used here). The project was a huge success! We have lots of birds that come to our feeder...AND a squirrel. Needless to say she has learned how to sign "squirrel." BTW, squirrels eat a lot of bird food when given the chance. He wipes us out of bird food in a day.
Love those two together! (And Shane said he didn't know what he would do with a little girl when I was pregnant with Makenna. I'd say he's doing perfectly!)
