Well, two days ago you learned your real first word! You’ve been saying “dada” and “mama” for a long time, but I doubt that you associate them with Daddy and me yet. Dada is when you are playing and happy, Mama is for food! But finally, you learned to say “eye”! You copy us and point to a region somewhere between your ear and eye and say “eye”! You’ve done it continually for two days now. You also go “blubb blubb” making that noise by wiggling your finger in your mouth. Daddy taught you to do both of those things.
You’ve begun to walk again too and aren’t so scared as you were. I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday and Daddy said you had lots of fun playing peek-a-boo with a little boy and amusing old ladies while you waited for me.
You were so funny last night too before your bath. I’ve forgotten what you were playing with, but you lay down upstairs and raised your feet and propped them on the door of the extra room and lay there talking.
