Ramblings of a loving mom

I love to see Jocelyn's firsts. I loved her first smiles, laughs, steps etc. As a speech language pathologist, I am really enjoying seeing her understand language and also begin to use it. She has been following commands really well and has been using signs (me, all done, more, eat, please, sorry, again, up, want, etc). Even though the research showed that it didn't slow down the acquisition of speech, I secretly thought maybe Jocelyn was choosing to use sign and not talk. This week Jocelyn really took off in learning words. She is paroting alot of our single words and she put two words together today when she said "up Mama". I LOVE to hear her gaining words each day.

She loves to ride the horses which she got to do yesterday. It isn't very often that you get to ride in January! She loves to see the dogs and cats when we go and visit family too. She is taking after her daddy in loving the outdoors and animals.
