Great-Ma Came to Visit


Dylan's Grandmother came to visit this weekend and she got to help Donna keep Evan on Friday. She hadn't seen him for a couple of months, so they had alot to catch up on. They also watched him for us while we got some yard work done, then Donna grilled hamburgers for everyone. It was a nice visit for sure.

Screeching Phase

Evan has started screeching...I can't figure out any kind of pattern of when or why...Sometimes he's happy, tired, jumping, tummy time, morning, evening...no apparent commonality, but I know it is driving me crazy. It is so high pitched, that it literally makes my ears ring. I thought this was something unique to our special boy until I Googled it..."Screeching 6 month old"...Sure enough, other babies do this too!! Friends have since told me that "this too shall pass," but it can't pass soon enough. Glass half full perspective: At least we know his vocal chords work, maybe this means he is going to be a world famous singer someday ;)

Baby Signing Time

After hearing the recommendation from a couple of friends, I got the Baby Signing Time DVD for Evan. He really loves it! It has happy songs (that are always stuck in my head now) and it shows babies doing the signs too. He has always liked watching other children. Of course he doesn't know any signs yet, but I'm hoping with the help of this video, and with us using the signs with him everyday, that he will pick them up over time.
Highly recommended if you or someone you know was wanting a baby signing video.

You can get it on Amazon...Search for Baby Signing Time Volume 1 DVD (2005)
