Lola's Signs part 2

We can't keep up. Not only can we not keep up with her list of all the signs she knows, but we can barely keep up with learning the signs to keep up with her! She does have a show now - she LOVES Signing Time! It's a PBS show, and the library also has it on DVD. She's kind of a Signing Time addict. But we do all learn so many signs from watching. We know all kinds of animals, and she even put together her first signed sentence. Derrick and Lola went to the zoo on Saturday, and she signed to him "Giraffe Drink" when they watched the giraffe bend over and get a drink from the lake. She continues to make lots of sounds too and gets closer and closer to many words. This morning it sounded like she said "dog. She does a great "ball" and "bye-bye."

We were scheduled to be in LA right now to test out new equipment for Advanced Bionics, but the prototype wasn't ready for Lola to test, so we will have to reschedule in April, hopefully. We are really looking forward to getting a tour of the place where the magic happens! Lola is currently trying out a new set of equipment. We are definitely getting used to it, and everyone likes the purple flowery design!

Hi Lola!
We need to plan a trip to the zoo with you so you can teach Max new words as well!

Peace,
Lucia, Omer and Max
