I was just telling Kelli about some more things Bailey can say/understand and I realized I need to write them down. I also need to be better about transferring from the blog to the baby book. Anyway here are the new developments:

When she frantically waves, she sometimes says “Haaaaaaaaaa” or “Hehhhhh” which we are interpreting to be “hi.” It is always in a very excited and slightly squealy voice.

Today I kept telling her “book” every time (all four million of them) that she handed me her Moo, Baa, La la la book. Finally when she handed it to me she said, “Buh.” Several different times.

I know these aren’t huge words or anything, but it is a sign that she is trying to make words and communicate!

Also, Jonathon has become “Dad-deeeee” and everyone else, including me, grandparents, and random strangers, are called “Da da.” I try over and over to tell her that I am Mama, but to no avail.

She is definitely understanding more. We were playing in the living room today and she was really busy at her learning table. I told her Grandpa was coming, and she immediately crawled over to the top of the steps to watch the front door. I couldn’t believe that she understood that! She also understands nurse and will try to lift up my shirt or lean her face against me if I say it! Also when I said, “See ya later” tonight she waved to me. Her receptive language is really improving.
