Hi Daddy!

The Battallion that Mike is with has been having video teleconferences(VTC) ever couple of weeks or so. This was our third one. Madison really recognizes her daddy. She will walk toward 'him' when I stand her up on the table and the first time she stretched her arms out for him to take her. Also we have found out that is such a daddy's girl. I have been teaching her different body parts as well as sign language but with seemingly not much luck aside from a show of progress here and there. The first VTC we had Mike asked her to tough her nose and she did it right away. This last one I had him ask her to touch her ears and to sign 'more'. She did both almost without any hesitation. All three of these are things she will not do for me. She has since started touching her nose for me and I got her to sign 'more' today but it's not everytime.:) She's such a little stinker. She knows more than we think. It's so cute watching them interact though. She gets bashful and does all sort of cute things like laugh when we are laughing about something. It has been a great way for the two of them to keep in touch and for her to know her daddy better since she was pretty young when he left. He got to see her walk the day after she started and has been able to watch her progress with walking as well as talking and all the other fun things she is learning. The VTC's have been a great for all of us! Here's some cute pictures of the two of them 'talking'.
