Charley signing

So I have been trying to teach Charley a few signs to communicate a few everyday things with me. Especially the signs for "eat", "more" , and "all done". Tonight she started telling me more! I knoow I can tell she wants more by her fussing, but we'll work on that it's a process. I am so excited and such a nerd. We'll see if she wants to continue to use it tomorrow;)

Going to the Camp




I brought Charley to my dad hunting camp during the Christmas hollidays. My daddy and her daddy were so excited that she was there. Here are a few pics.

Charley's Pink Tree






I had so much fun on my recent 2 week break. Charley and I hung out most of the time down the bayou while Josh hunted a few miles down the road with my brother and dad. It was very relaxing. On Christmas Eve, Charley decided she wanted to stay up and try to see this Santa guy. No but she did stay up until midnight for some reason. After she fell asleep, I was able to fulfill one of my longtime dreams of being Santa. I truly enjoyed it. (even though I forgot to bake cookies for myself) Christmas morning was wonderful. Charley played with each and every toy she opened and got visibly excited for a few. It was precious. I look forward to next year when she knows a little more of what's going on! Our New year's was extremely low key. Josh, Charley, and I hung out with my family in Chauvin and brought in the New Year with them. Where's a better place to be?! I am counting down till the next break where I can pretend to be a stay at home mommy!

Charley speaks Chinese


Funny story! During Thanksgiving, my dad was making jokes about how he can translate Charley's "CHINESE". He kept saying she was calling him grandfather and that they were having very intelligent conversations. Well fast forward to that Sunday and she really was saying grandfather in Chinese. Let me explain. Every once in a while, I let her watch Ni Hoa Kai Lan (spelling?) a Chinese version of Dora. Kai lan calls her grandfather (a regular on the show) yeah yeah. On this Sunday night and ever since then, Charley has made this word (sound) part of her vocabulary. I explained the story to my Dad and he just said " I've been trying to tell y'all that!" Funny guy. He love it of course even if she probably has no clue what it means.
