Ali's always been a jabberer and has been saying things
that sound like words (dada, mama, mom, bubble, etc.) for months and
months. But she hadn't connected them to their meanings yet.
In
the last month, she's started to understand words. She can point to her
bear when asked, and her books, and her water, etc. But she wasn't
vocalizing those words herself.
But this morning, after she
finished nursing, she sat up, pointed to her stack of books, and said
"book"!!! I mean, obviously it wasn't exactly enunciated correctly...it
was more like "buh"...but STILL!! OMG Y'ALL!!
You'd
better believe this English-teacher-turned-editor mommy's heart just
about burst with joy!!!
