I have been sorta kinda trying to teach Walker signs for different words since he was about 6 months old. I had barely tried to teach him "all gone/all done", but after going to The Little Gym classes for a few months(the teacher there signs a lot of words), he started signing it! He does it all the time now, I'm so proud :) He also says "a-guh" when he signs it which translates to "all gone".
One of the signs I taught him is the sign for "food/eat". I have been doing that one for a while now, but not too consistently. The last few days I have been doing it more often, and yesterday he ran into the living room where John and I were sitting, looked at me, and signed "food"! I was so excited :) I went to the kitchen and asked him if he was hungry and he signed "food" again! Then he tried to climb into his highchair.
I am one proud mama. :D

Blog Fashion!
Lately I have been getting pretty involved in the digital scrapbooking world. I am creating for two designers, ScrapKitchen Designs, and LCC by Amy Stoffel. This means I am part of a team that creates layouts with the designer's new products and I promote them by posting in various galleries and spreading the word about their beautiful designs! I am loving it, it is a lot of fun. I have met some great girls and I think I'm getting a lot better with scrapping! I can't wait to have a book completed and printed out for Walker someday. It will be a great keepsake. I love doing something creative for myself while at the same time, preserving my family's memories. I put some links to my favorite scrap galleries on the side of the blog :)
One of my fabulous fellow LCC by Amy Stoffel creative team girls designed this awesome "Blog Fashion" that Amy will be selling soon. Isn't it so cute?! I tried to make my blog pretty before, but it never looked this good :) Hopefully this will inspire me to keep up on my blog!
So, onto the fam. Walker is growing like crazy, I don't understand how time passed so fast. He is running everywhere. He never walks anymore. He is talking up a storm. His words so far are: Daddy, Ma, doggie, uh oh, duckie, and he does sign language for "all done" and he just started signing for "come" when he wants us to come over to him or pick him up. He also puts the phone to his ear and says "Whooosit", meaning "Who is it?" and he says "Whassat", meaning "What's that?". His new favorite activity is climbing into and out of things. There are three cloth bins on the shelves of his changing table. He will take a bin out, empty it, and climb in it and sit down. I got a picture of it the first time he did it. I can't wait to scrap with it. We also have an end table that I use to put the computer and external hard drive on which has a magazine rack on the bottom. It is empty, so one day Walker decided it would be a good seat. He is a little big for it, so once he got in, he couldn't figure out how to crawl out. He was super frustrated and yelled until I finally figured out how to squeeze him out lol. I thought he would be scared and not do it again, but he does it at least twice a day, every day.
Walker had his first haircut last week. I was a little sad about it, but his hair was getting too long. It was getting in his eyes and he was always getting food stuck in it. We thought he would throw a fit through the whole thing, but the only time he fussed was when the clippers were going around his ears. He did great! We were so proud of him :)

Well that is all for now :) Hopefully I will be back here again before 3 months have passed.
