Over the past couple days, Momily and I had been debating whether Mather has added the sign for "hungry". It's not one we've shown her much, mainly using the simpler "to eat" sign (fingers near the mouth!). The sign for hungry is running your finger down along your sternum. Momily has shown it to her a couple times, but it never really took.
So Mather and I were in the Panhandle Playground this morning and having a good time playing in the sand and on the slides. After a little while, she noticed her bag off in one corner and headed over towards it -- repeatedly running her hand up and down her belly as if it were a guitar. When I opened her bag for her, she said "sauce!" and mimed a spooning motion. She was asking for her applesauce! Since I didn't have any, we headed home so she could have her fill. But it's clear she's now added the sign for hungry (or her modified version...).
