First Words

Gracie has developed quite a vocabulary lately and it is so much fun to watch her everyday try and recreate her own version of what I say.

Outside, Squirrel, Hi, Bye, Mama, Dada, Jonah, Star, Duck, Hungry, Bird, Dog, Kitty, & Music just to name the ones that come to the front of my mind. If you heard these words you might not understand them, but being her Mama she sounds clear as day to me.

Everywhere we go she says Hi to anyone who will listen. She arches her head at them in attempt to catch their eyes. She will continue on until the once cranky Walmart shopper is forced to stop choosing cereal and say hello to her. It's amazing how the words of a child can bring a smile to anyones face.

Bye is her new favorite. She pushes her baby stroller around the house saying, "Die, Die, Die." Her version of Bye. Jonah and I can't help but stop what we are doing when this occurs. It's not everyday you hear someone chant Die, Die, with a big grin on their face!
