Alyssa’s got a new gesture that she just *loves* to do! She picked it up from a couple of books that we read to her at bedtime & it is so cute! Especially when we get to the page in her Elmo book where the Sesame Street gang is in the library, she will put her finger to her lips & go, “Shhh”! There is a picture on that page of Elmo doing it, and it is also part of the text. Of course, it’s even funnier when she does it out of context! It doesn’t matter if we are in the car, or she just got up from her nap, or she & her sister are playing, she loves to just say, “Shhh”! Then, she proceeds to babble at us in whispers, which gets us laughing even more! She understands, in a way, which is good, but of course she’s still just a toddler & picking up things as she goes along… We love our sweet, silly, baby girl! 🙂
