More food, Daddy!

** After quite a long hiatus I'm back, and I'm just going to get right back in here like nothing ever happened***

Jonathan was feeding Isabella last night and she seemed to be particularly hungry. After she finished her food she was sitting in her chair while we finished our food. Without complaining she sat for a while and played with her toy. Jonathan noticed that she was clapping, we said "YAY" and clapped with her. (This of course is a favorite game of hers.) This time she didn't smile, she didn't laugh, she just stopped. She sat quietly and we started eating again, mentioning that "that was weird". All of the sudden she yelled and when Jonathan looked at her she did the sign for food! She wasn't clapping at all, she was asking for MORE! More food, Daddy.

We are so happy with the progress Isabella is making with her signing. She is learning the signs faster than she is using them, she would much rather screech than use non verbal communication (oh joy). We aren't giving up, though.
