Monkey Tails and Sign Language

When Bella was a year, her "lovie" was a puppy dog and now at two years, her lovie is a monkey! Well, after Brooklyn was born, I started getting her some of the Ty Beanie Babies (the medium sized ones), but I was getting (or trying to) different colors than what Bella had. Bella had the brown monkey, so I got Brooklyn the pink monkey. Well, Brooklyn kept "stealing" Bella's monkey, so I ended up finding another brown one and now they both have a brown monkey for their lovie! Brooklyn also has a little "baby monk" that she likes as well! The funny thing about Brooklyn is that she carries them by their tails! If you hand it to her, she will immediately flip it over and grab by the tail; when she wakes up from her nap or in the morning, she is usually holding a monkey tail in each hand!

Brooklyn is doing quite well with the sign language! She now totally has the concept of more down and she does this one very well! She also uses the sign for "milk" (which she uses when she wants to nurse at times), although I think she uses this more generally for drink, so I am now introducing the drink sign to her as well. She will do eat sometimes, but not consistently yet. We will also teach her the signs for please and thank you! And anymore she might pick up on! Bella has been quite helpful in teaching these signs to Brooklyn!
