Ensign-isms

An ensignism is a story about Taylor, Alisa, Cassidy, Mckay, and Kelsey Ensign. These stories may be elaborate or mundane, but with the combined personalities of our little family, they are sure to be entertaining.

Kelsey Signing


Several Months ago we set a Family Goal to help Kelsey learn 20 signs before she turned One. Kelsey is now 11 Months old so we decided to write down all of the signs that she knows.

We placed the signs into several categories such as: Frequent Use, Mimics Sign, etc. We were able to count 35 signs that she knows. We have been trying to video her doing these signs, however, she has the ability to recognize when the camera is on, and becomes enamored with the camera and doesn't want to sign anymore.

Tonight she was enjoying her ice cream, and with that as a distraction and motivation, we were able to get her on camera doing several signs.

She is learning signs so quickly and seems to be picking up 2 or 3 signs a week. It is always so fun when she signs something new.

Side note: My favorite part of this video is when Barry Manilow suddenly begins playing in the background on the ihome.
