A View of the Hills

For several months, I've been working with Kaylin on communication. I've shown her several signs, but every time I reach for her hands in order to manipulate them into the sign, she pulls away. Unfortunately she prefers to squeal/screech/whine, so we're not quite there yet. Despite this, something must have stuck because she just let us know that she can clap! She had never clapped before Saturday and she just randomly started doing it in her highchair, so I quickly grabbed the camera and shot this little video. Like we are with everything she does, we were thrilled and fell in love with her sweetness all over again! Since then she's been clapping all day long. She's super excited about her new skill.
This was a big weekend for Kaylin. She became much more confident in her walking, her first tooth finally poked through, and she learned to clap. Watch out Ivy Leagues!
