Wow, something just CLICKED in little Anna's brain this week. In the last few days she has started really paying attention to HOW to say words. And she's added a few more to her repertoire, as well. She can now say "doggy," "Daddy" (in addition to "dada") and "hi!". All three of those need a little coaching; she resorts to Annaspeak most of the time. But when she says them, they're pretty understandable. So cool! It just feels like a switch was flipped and she's going to be busting out new words every day now.

Brian and I are pretty sure that Anna says "A-wa" when she wants water. Yippee! I think that puts her word tally up to four: agua, dada, bye-bye and moo (though they all sound a little different than the "proper" pronunciation). I'm still not sure she's saying doggy.

Words, words, words. Anna clearly said "Ba-ba," while waving, to some of the moms today as we were leaving our get-together. And she points at Brian and says "Da-da" with regularity. We'll count these as words, too. Yay!

I think it's "moo." Anna says the same thing every time we ask her what a cow says: "behhhhh." (Her 'b' kinda sounds like an 'm') Not exactly right, but she's consistent. So I'm counting it as her second official word. She said it while we looking at a book about farm animals when Kole and Tori were visiting a month ago, but she hadn't really picked it back up again until last week. Now she's got it.
