April 2010

Amber continues to be my miracle. She does things on her own time, in her own way. This month she started crawling more and pulling her self up. Yes pulling on the couch and walking from one side of the couch to the other. Just like that from no crawling to pulling up and crawling. She babbles more and seems to understand everything you say in english and spanish or at least that's what I tell myself. She knows a few sign language words like more and all done. You know when she's all done because if you don't understand the signs she's make sure you understand her screams. She loves to sing...her favorite song right now is "Five Little Ducklings" and "The Wheels on the Bus"
