It's only lunchtime and it's already been a banner day. First, the little sweetie finally said dadada -- for almost two minutes straight! She's been saying mamama for weeks now (yes, that is completely opposite what every book says will happen - go figure). Even though I know that she's just babbling with whatever consonant felt awesome at the moment, I still was having guilt since Josh couldn't experience that swell of pride when she seems to be talking to you. Hopefully she'll do a repeat performance when Josh gets home tonight. Her other new trick is that she is putting food in her own mouth. Seems like a simple concept, right? Up 'til now, she's just grabbed food and held it in her hands and then opened her mouth so we would feed her. The hand-mouth connection was made today and now she's shoving in the sweet potato puffs two at a time. Cute and concerning, all at the same time.
