New Words

It is April 2nd, 2009. I wanted to let you know what your vocabulary has become. You were saying Mama, Dada, Ba-ba, pretty much all of the usuals that infants say. And yes you were using them correctly.

Just last week you started looking at the lights in the house and businesses we frequent, so I said "llllliiiiiight!" and you watched me for several repeatings of the word. Then you said it! "Lllllliiiiiieeee!" Y ou are missing the T, but for the most part you say light. You even point to it when you say it.

You have been saying Baby for about 3 weeks and you have said Puppy twice, to me. But you smile a lot when asked to say puppy and you watch the dogs intently.

You say "Yeah," and "Oh," "mommy," "daddee." I think you say "Nana" for grandma, but you definitely say "Papa," for your grandfather. You crawl up the stairs and your grandparents house and yell Papa every few steps. Your grandfather has a bad back that has been fused together from his neck to just above his tail bone. He is often in pain and can't pick up much weight, and is on heavy medication, so he just sits in his office upstairs and you know that is where he is at. It's all very cute.

Oh yes, you say "bye-bye" or "bye" and waive. You like to tell anyone leaving this when YOU are done with them. It makes me smile and proud that you are dismissing people at such a young age! lol Not really, it's cute that you dismiss them, but we won't let you treat people that way all your life.

I think that is all of the words that you say currently. But I will write more about what you are up to.

I love you with all my heart and soul,
Love Mommy!
