Hi Sage!

Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl!

I remember going back to work at 6 weeks was really difficult. But now, she's 15 months old and she LOVES daycare. She learns best by watching other children. When she moved from "Creepers" into "Walkers", she wasn't able to walk yet, she was only pulling up. But in walkers, where she was the youngest, she got to see all her classmates running around. Within a couple of weeks, she was walking too!

We've been using Signing Times with her. Have you heard of it? It's a DVD series that teaches children to use American Sign Language. Moonlet (my nickname for my daughter) has been absolutely fascinated by Signing Times from the first time we popped the dvd in. The first dvd has the words, Eat, water, milk, mom, dad, car, baby, sleep and others. Moonlet can sign all of those and she's able to actually say "Ball", "Dada", "Mama", "Ba-Bo" (which is the best she can do for Bottle)and "Dog".

We started using Signing Times at 10 months, and within a month, Moonlet was signing eat and milk. This was the coolest thing ever, cause she was able to tell us when she was hungry and when she wanted to nurse!

Anyway, congratulations!

Hugs!
