"More"

We had such a wonderful day yesterday with my little sister getting married.  I went to bed last night with that happy exhausted feeling.  We even got up and got everything ready for our 9:00 church and I actually have a second to put a post up, now that never happens on a Sunday morning (watch me go too long on the post and still be late for church :).

When Palmer about 9 months old we taught him some sign language so he could communicate to us what he wanted.  We loved that he could tell us "more, food, and drink".  It avoided a lot of tantrums.  We have taught each of our boys these three signs.  McKay has been signing "more" for a long time (the other ones aren't catching on as well).  When he does it, it pretty much just means I want something so it isn't working as well as I would like, but it is SO CUTE.  When he does it I pretty much would give him whatever he wants as it melts my heart.

This was when I was doing his little photo shoot a while ago.  I was giving him mini marshmallows to keep him happy in these pictures and he was telling me he wanted some more.  I love it when he does this, now if I could get him to use the rest of the signs :)

Oh that picture is so precious. I love that little hat on him too. He looks like an angel.
