13 Months

Anna turned 13 months last week and it seems like she doing something new and exciting every day. 

For the past 3 mornings she had been sleeping until 8:00 - 8:30 (about 13 hours) and we love it! I feel bad for Monday morning when I'm going to have to wake her at 6:30 to go to school.

We've also been teaching her some sign language so she can stop her screaming when she needs something. When we get up in the morning and we say, "Want to go have some breakfast?" She knows to walk into the kitchen and point to her chair. When we say, "What do you want to eat?" She can do the sign for eat. 

  

This is the sign to get down when she's all done eating. 

Anna also knows the sign for "more" when her food is all gone and she wants some more. 

(We'll get that video soon).  

She can also follow directions such as, 

"Give that to Sydney please", "Go get your baby", and "Go get the ball"

Anna likes drawing on her chalkboard now while sitting in her chair Pop painted for her. We're still working on not eating the chalk!
