Words

I have learned some new words, although I am not sure exactly what they mean. I can say "da da da da da" and "ba ba ba ba ba" and today learned "mom" (not "mama", but a very serious "mom"). I am pretty sure they mean something because everyone gets so excited when I say them, well, most of the time. It seems no matter what I say, someone wants to have me say something else. For instance, I look at Mommy and say "da da da da". She laughs and says no "mma mma". Not sure what is so wrong about "da da" - Daddy sure likes that word. It always makes him smile.

You know what other word I am hearing more and more of? "No". I can't say it yet (but I'm going to learn quickly because it is a pretty powerful word). Mommy looks at me a lot now and says "no". She especially does it when she is feeding me and I am trying to multitask. I'm not sure if she is against multi-tasking or just trying to prevent me from learning new things. I mean, I'm just trying to perfect pinching with my finger and thumb - sure, I'm trying to grab those short, fine hairs of hers right there by her face, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. I have milestones to meet! She is totally trying to hold me back and keep me her baby forever. I agree with Sissy, I wanna grow up and learn new things. You know, she threatened to stop feeding Sissy veggies and meat to keep her from growing. I think Mommy is going to try her hardest to keep us home with her as long as we will stay.....  I guess it's cuz she loves us so....

Love to all,
