Learning
Aeriana has been learning and growing so much, it still blows my mind how exciting it is to watch her grow. As I've mentioned before, we're working with Aeriana on sign language and she's done pretty well... at least enough to help her communicate her basic needs/wants to us and prevent (some, but unfortunately not all) melt-downs. Over the last few days I've seen her do two words together for the first time (though Erin has seen it before), she said "more food" and "milk please" in sign language ('please' being a relatively new development on its own that we're pretty excited about). Being the pushy father I am, I tried to get her to say "more food please" today... which promptly resulted in an Aeriana-Overload. For now we'll stick with just two words, two words is fine with me.On top of that, she's been learning that it's fun to walk around with clothes over her head. Doesn't matter whether it's her clothes, or mine or Erin's, she just thinks it's fun. Fun for us is watching her walk around with her head covered and seeing 'walk - bump into wall - fall - laugh - stand up - repeat'.
Erin has also been learning... learning how much "fun" being pregnant with a little one is. In all honesty, Erin is a champ and is doing an excellent job (as Aeriana's communication skills can attest to). We're getting more and more excited for May 11th when we get to find out the gender of Aeriana's new sibling (though we're already convinced it's a boy...)
I've also been learning too, spending some free time checking out Photoshop tutorials and playing around with some fun effects. I still have a TON to learn before I consider myself even moderately decent at Photoshopping, but I'm having a blast learning the many many things you can do with this awesome program. To test out some of my new-found knowledge, I figured I'd play around with some pictures of my sisters three adorable kids.
