Language development is proceeding nicely! I am learning a new word once every couple of days now and I am so much less frustrated now that I can better express myself. My latest word is "bubble" which is really fun to say, but I am not quite sure what it means. Mommy showed me bubbles by blowing into her drink through a straw and daddy got a toy out that shoots bubbles into the air. So I am figuring it out.Mommy was always frustrated that I learned to say Dada first, but now I've got Mama all figured out. I was so pleased by the reaction I got to saying it, that I started saying it all the time. For a while there, I thought "Mama" meant "I want". Now I realize that it means that wonderful person that cuddles with me, feeds me, and makes me laugh all the time.
Last week while I was playing with daddy, I sat up, pointed to my hand (my sign language for "more"), and said, "Nana". Daddy knew just what I meant and took me up to the kitchen and peeled me a banana. And I ate the whole thing, grinning the whole time.
The pictures above are daddy and I reading one of my favorite books, "Colors". It has faces that as you flip through the book they get hair, or glasses, or a flower. Daddy will hold the book up and show me what I would like with a pink flower. That always make me laugh!

Sophie dear,
You look like you're having so much fun- I want to read that book with you when I visit. Sign is good but it helps to be able to start saying words and get responses- like a banana! Now you need "cookie", "balloon" and "go outside" - for a start. Love, Gran
Nana would be so pleased that one of your first words is Nana (even if Nana means banana) she would have been convinced that you were asking for her! Great job with the language development- have you and your Mommy and Daddy been reading "What Do People Do All Day"? I read that to your Daddy and your big cousin Mikey (Kate's Daddy) hundreds of times- it sounds like your are ready for Busytown!!
