She speaks!

For the last few weeks, sweet girl and I have been hearing some words come out of baby girl's mouth. It's so funny to see how excited sweet girl gets when she thinks she's heard a new one. "Mommy! Baby girl just said (insert word here)! Can you believe it? She's learning to talk." Today, she learned uh-oh! And it sounds so darned cute when she says it. Friday the word of the day was bunny, pronounced in two very decisive syllables buhn-nee, inspired by the story Curious George and the Bunny. She loves that book, and gets so excited when George finds the bunny again, she starts to laugh and point and says, "Bunny."
Now there is a lot of babbling going on to, and if you listen and look at her while she's talking, you might just think she's speaking a different language, but definitely a real language. She talks with expression, and changes the tone in her voice. Tonight, she was talking to my dear husband, and she was telling him all about Tam-may and bany, and ebaloubaloo. He acknowledged her and she kept right on telling him all about these people or things.
It's just amazing how her brain is growing and developing, and she's becoming a little person of her own.
And another refreshing first today... she sat still for over 30 minutes entertaining herself with duplo blocks and some of big sister's fun toys. It was amazing, I didn't think it was possible. I was beginning to think that I had lost my mind because I couldn't remember sweet girl ever being so energetic, but I'm sure she was...a lot the mind will forget in 4 years...
Well, ebaloobaloo to you!
