little miss chatterbox

A couple of weeks ago, Anne started talking.  Or, at least, we think she did.  Her definite words include ma ma, da da, and uh oh.  But, she also calls her Aunt Tiffany and Aunt Keri Mama and points at Cabo when we say "da da", so really "uh oh" is probably her first word.

Her first phrase or question seems to be "duh da" or "what's that?" as translated by her proud parents.  She points to everything and says "duh da" which means that we say "tree," "light" or "fan" about ten million times a day.  She also seemed to say "sssa", which we translated as "sand" since she was covered in sand and playing with it as she said it.  Here she is after just mastering "sssa."

She also called Cabo "Babo" today, twice, so I'm counting that too, and, she just started saying "buu" and points at a book.  She LOVES to read, like her mommy.  She will toss her bottle to the ground if she spots a book on her nightstand and lunge to grab the book.  She smiles and points at things when we are reading whereas Harrison would gnaw on the page or mostly just gaze off into space.  Of course, his dad gets that same glazed look in his eye when I'm talking so I'll just chalk that up to genetics :)  She seems to be learning almost a new word each day so I am very eager to hear what comes next!

Speaking of what comes next, Harrison copied a bad word today.  Well, it wasn't a bad word because I just said "shoot" when I dropped my sunglasses (I really and truly did!) but a few minutes after that I heard him say it too.  I keep thanking my lucky stars that shoot was all that popped out but it was a really great reminder for me to watch my Ps and Qs from now on!
