Birdies and Stars

Violet and I met up with a girlfriend of mine and her 12-month-old daughter today at a petting zoo, then we went to Marie Callender's for lunch (you know, because kids eat free on Tuesdays!). At the petting zoo I actually got a picture of Violet signing "bird"! It's her favorite sign, but I've never really been able to get a good picture... here it is:

Then, while we were sitting on the patio at Marie Callender's, Violet started excitedly signing "stars"- sure enough, she was pointing to the Macy's sign, which had two big stars on it! It was fun to know that she was thinking about those stars, instead of wondering what was making her so excited. This happens to be MY favorite sign, because it's so cute to watch her do her little "star boogie". Unfortunately, my camera battery had already died- next time!
