Mini Raspberries

Ever since the day we found out that Elle had to figure out how to breathe out of her mouth because her nose was completely blocked - we have said she is such a smart little girl. She didn't give up and just decide to stop breathing - she figured out how to breathe out of her mouth until the doctors clued in and helped her start breathing with the help of a breathing tube. My mom calls her gifted and talented. There are certain things that we work on everyday. One of the things that we do is when I am finished changing her diaper - I blow raspberries by her face and then tell her it is her turn. She just stares up at me like she is trying to figure out what I am doing so she can do it too. She also stares at my hands and my moms hands as we sign to her. I just know she is absorbing everything that we are doing. The other day I was blowing raspberries by her and she figured out how to do it! Lee asked me if I thought she was really mimicking me - and I really do. I think she is such a smart little girl! Please ignore my annoying voice and crooked attempt at a video!

I'm not sure how I came across your blog, but I enjoy reading about your wonderful family. And for the record, I totally think that little Elle was blowing raspberries at her Mama. Smart girl!
