Although she's still not saying much, Gwyneth is learning how to communicate by way of sign language. Here's a video showing some of her most recent sweet skills.

    To cute, that was the best video. Our little guy was a preemie also and sign language was huge in our house, it cut down on so much of his frustrations!

    Beautiful family!!

    I taught some signs to my grandson because of his speech delays also. His favorite one was "more". I am truly amazed at how fast they can pick up on using signs. It made communicaton so much better. His cousins who were the same age learned these signs also. It was such a big help to me and his parents also. Thank you for sharing with everyone. I have followed your blog since it began and love checking in every morning to see what's up.

    Nate and Tricia,

    What a beautiful girl-- as if you needed me to say it!! Her smile is infectious. I loved how she kept wanting to go over to the camera and "check it out." Thanks for keeping posting about your lives...It challenges me, encourages me and makes me smile too. Thank you for staying together as a married couple too. In this world, with stress, that is so hard and I appreciate your testimony.

    Keep up the good love,
    Kerry

    Never having had younger siblings, or much contact at all with toddlers, it's just thrilling for me to see children learning to respond to the world around them. Makes you realize how much of a miracle they are -- and Gwynth especially. She's such a blessing. :) Thanks for sharing these adorable moments.

  41. BuckeyeNPDecember 10, 2009 at 9:53 PM

    I agree with the others...what song is in the video (sounds like Jack Johnson?) and I've always said "MEEEEEEEE-ka" in my head too!

    You know this was about the simplest thing I have ever seen, but so sweet. So ordinary. Which is exactly what made it beautiful. :) Cheers for all of you.

    She is So sweet...
    I love your little video...
    She is so dainty and delicate...
    We used sign language with our little guys...one of our boys is autistic and the other has severe delays and sensory issues...we learned baby sign language when we went to a class to help understand the needs of our babies...this was very helpful as one of the boys did not speech until almost 4 years old...sign language was a blessing...
    It is nice to see how your family is doing...Tricia looks great...and you have lost weight...
    Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family...
    God Bless you always

    Sincerely

    Nadine, Guy, Gabriel and Paul

    I feel like everyone else has already said the things I wanted to say, but I couldn't resist commenting anyway because this is just so touching. What an amazing little girl she is becoming. The glasses crack me up! My sister had to start wearing them at 2 and it's so neat to see all of you having fun with it. God is good!

    Such a sweet little tease! "I'm getting off the bed...No I'm not!" So cute!

    I am so impressed with her signs too! She is so smart.

    I adore the 'fix your glasses' trick. I am going to try that with my baby!

    Thanks for making me smile today.

    Hi, I don't think I've commented before, but what a precious little girl you have! She touches my heart, because she shares the same first name as my sister, and my Mother's name was Rose :>)
    Take care & be well!
