The One About Baby Noises

I never really believed parents who said their babies talked at 7-8 months or younger. I thought they were just being 'proud parents" & hearing what they wanted to hear. That is until Alyssa started "talking". She says the normal "mama" and "dada" at the appropriate times. But she also says "Yaaa" when clapping her hands & "Uh-oh" when something drops or when prompted. And tonight our dog, Shelby, barked & immediately after Alyssa made the same noises! She's such a mimic lately! So cute!!

The One With the Grins

There's nothing more precious than opening your sleepy eyes in the morning to find your baby's big eyes fixated on your face and see a grin spread over her face as she sees you wake up. Yup. That's how I woke up this morning. I love those precious baby grins.

She's so fun lately! She's interacting more and more. She loves to copy what we are "saying". She growls when we growl and giggles when we giggle. She claps her hands when she's excited. She's just such a joy. Last night Matt was eating ice cream and she sat there saying "Dadadada numnumnumnum" It was so cute!
