All done

Today Natalie's speech therapist said we need to work on getting her to sign "all done" spontaneously, instead of just when we ask. She does sign all done when she doesn't want any more food, but often she will also just push our hand away instead of signing all done.

Amanda, her speech therapist, also said Natalie's been imitating "pop" sounds, so we'll be working on that at home. Natalie seems to be paying better attention to us when we ask her to imitate us, so she's starting to understand the game, and often does try to imitate. We can really see a need for her to tell us what she wants: right now, we only know what she wants by asking her if she wants X, Y or Z, and waiting for her to smile at the right guess...not very productive!
