  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here .

    I've created a map that shows links to our camping/hiking/general family fun review posts that you can find here. It's pretty much the coolest thing on this site. Thanks, Google!

    I great big puffy heart *love* comments, so please let me know you visited! I try to always reply!

ellie’s signs

Ellie has even more signs and words in her repertoire.  ‘help’ is my absolute favorite because of how darn useful it is!  I love that she says the word and signs at the same time—I don’t have to worry about her being a late talker at all!  ‘doll’ was said/used for the first time yesterday, which is very exciting because we do a lot with dolls around here (I’m sewing her a little doll and making her a big dollhouse pillow right now and yesterday we dressed up my Addy doll in a summer dress). 

She still loves to talk about hats the mostest.  Oh how hats make her day!
