Look Who's Talking
Annie is starting to talk. Most of the time she just babbles, but she's learning a lot of words. Every now and then she'll get into a mood and just start repeating the last word of every sentence we say. It's pretty cute.
But yesterday was momentous. We were sitting in sacrament meeting at church and Ellie had to go potty, so Shelly took her out. Annie was sitting with me. She pulled out the word cards we've made for Ellie to learn to read - they have a word on one side and the matching picture on the other. Annie happened to grab the card marked "Mama," which has a picture of Shelly. She looked at it, and gleefully said, "Mama!" Then she kind of snuggled up to my leg and in a wistful way said, "I love Mama!"
Thus I was the only witness to Annie's first complete original sentence. Although she's happy that she was the subject of the sentence, Shelly is jealous that she didn't get to hear it.
