Lauren's first word...??
We may have Laurens first word! Ready for the drumroll........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ BUDDY!
Buddy is our dog. The night before last, Matt swears she said Buddy. I was skeptical. Last night, we would say, "Where's Buddy?" and she would look at him and mimick us with random two syllable sounds, eventually she got closer and was saying some things along the lines of Oh-dee and Ah-dee, then she flat out looked at Buddy, leaned towards him and said a clear "Bud" (which is what we also call him often).
It's hard to say, but I think we have our first word!
This morning, she also very clearly used sign language for the first time. We have been doing the signal for milk since she was about 3 months. This is just about the only sign language we have done with her. The signal is to open and close your hand as if you were milking a cow. She always does this with both hands when she wants something, or is in pain. I've always wondered if she picked up on the sign language and just used that as a general "want" signal, or if it was just a coincidence. This morning, as I was getting her dressed, her full bottle was on the toy box. She looked right at it, cried, reached towards it, and made the "milk" sign with her right hand.
AWESOME!
