During the Camp Out, we learned that Gabriela understands the meaning of No. Whenever someone told her "no, no" she'd shake her head no. Auntie Adrienne let Gabriela hold her iPhone but told her not to eat it. Gabriela would shake her head no and then bring the phone up to her mouth and shake it no again, as if to remind herself despite the temptation. She also did this same thing with Uncle Nate's glasses.
With Hoover around all weekend, Gabriela learned doggie too. She said "daaah" every time she saw Hoover. Of course, anyone else hearing her say this would probably think she was just making unintelligible baby sounds but we parents knew what she was saying :)
Since we got home, Gabriela has started signing more. When she signs more, she looks just like she is clapping her hands, and sometimes does one hand straight out and the other hand in the proper formation. We can't tell if she's catching on more, or if she only does that when she's holding something in her hand.
It's pretty cute. She practically signs more after every single bite of dinner. She also says something that sounds like "maaah" when she wants more.

Go Gabriela! Cynthia is going to have company at Harvard. =]
Steph pointed me in this direction when I was being a grump about someone's pretentious blog. This was the perfect remedy, I feel 100% better about life after reading this.
