Neona's Home

Neona is learning how to sign, baby signs.

She learned the sign of "milk" fairly quickly. It's related to her survival. She signs, even when it's dark. It's internalized for her that she doesn't remember it's hard for us to see her in the dark. But I can tell she squishes her hands over and over, she wants to nurse.

When I am not home in the day time, Dad says that she signs milk too. To show that he doesn't have milk, he would lift up his shirt, and Neona knows there's no milk. I wonder if she wants Mom, not milk.




Now she is acquiring the sign "sleep." When I say sleep, she puts both her hands around her head. Also she would put one finger in her mouth for "eating."

十一月，在花蓮牛山海邊...

NaNa喜歡看著大海，但對大海似乎有一種敬畏。
在她十個月大時，我們帶她到Orcas Island。在海邊將她放下來，她總是緊緊地抓著我們，或是身體僵硬成某種姿勢。




她喜歡玩水，但是靠近深水讓NaNa產生直覺的恐懼。她只願意在我們的懷裡，看著遠方藍藍的海。
