So Emma, who is 15 months & 3 weeks, is still ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE, exhibit A: those are not antennae, but merely our attempt at ponytails. She doesn't have a ton of hair. And she's probably not at the top of the class when it comes to speaking. I mean, why bother? When all you have to do is grunt and point -- who needs words?
But, we have been encouraging her to come out with more consonants, since she's got vowels and tone & inflection going pretty well. For a while there, the M's weren't doing so well, so "mom" kind of sounded like "Bob". Which wouldn't be so bad, except she did have the D's down pretty well, and "Dad and Bob" is just plain WRONG. She is much better with her M's now, with coaching.
And now, Emma has probably finally started saying her official "first word". It's something she says on her own--without coaching, with a clear pronunciation, and a lot of meaning. This is what we get for bringing her in to work with us. At this same age, Brandon was growing up in the craft store, and now Emma is growing up in the stove store.

"HOT!"
She always says it as a loud whisper, and she knows exactly what it means! No, she's never gotten burned, but she knows to stay away from stoves and ovens because they are HOT. Smart little beggar!
I LOVE her little piggies! It's so exciting when you can finally put SOMETHING in the hair. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie-pants. :)
