Words...

I consider myself fairly verbal.  I like to write.  I enjoy talking.  My mother always said I really enjoyed fighting because I liked to spar verbally.  My sister hated that and often would resort to biting me. Interesting....

My daughter loves to babble.  Da da da.  bob.  ma ma ma. ta ta ta. sa, sha, pah.  And so on and so forth.  It's great.  I love it.  She also growls loudly.  Her nana compared it to a really old, pack a day, smoker :)  HA!  And last, but not least she also snorts.  Not really talking per say, but she is getting her point across.  "I LOVE THAT AND WANT IT/WANT MORE"  *snort, snort, snort*

Journey says some babble very loudly.  VERY LOUDLY.  and some babble she whispers.  Kind of like she's trying out the sounds and isn't sure she wants to say them out loud yet. It is adorable.


Lately I have been attempting to pay close attention to her babble.  Is she actually saying something??  I have come to the conclusion that I think she is saying, "Hi, da da" with great excitement every time my husband comes in the door!  Awesome- her first words- Hi da da.  

I have also noticed that when she is upset she will say, "ma ma".  in a whiny, crying, sad voice.  "ma ma,  ma ma"  is she calling me?  I am not totally sure about this one, but my husband seems to think she is saying it.  If he's right, why do I get the whiny word and he gets the happy excited word?  He told me I should just be thankful she is saying my name at all.  

And I am- so I am happy and thankful and all that jazz!
