Today Ava Tried Talking

We're getting oh so close to hearing your sweet little voice. 

You know, the voice that will never back talk mom or me. The voice that will always use "Please" and Thank You." The voice that will use "sir" and "ma'am" when addressing adults. 

This might be old school thinking in today's world but we will raise you to have manners and respect. 

Enough with the lecture, dad ...

You've got a few words down and can associate many more with their respective objects, but with each passing day it seems as though your vocabulary is growing. 

You can point to your nose, eyes, ears, chin, cheeks, and tongue when prompted. Mom will ask you to show her your "chubby face" and you'll smash your cheeks together for her. 

That's just a sampling of your development thus far. Credit mom, she works long and hard with you on these things. 

You can say "Mom," "Mommy," "Dad," "My dad," "Juice," and you've almost got your own name. Phonetically it sounds like "A uh."

Tonight, you added a new one. 

I called mom this evening to let her know that I was on my way home from helping a friend move when you came up to the phone. She asked you to ay what you were pointing to and to my amazement came a soft "eye." 

Mom said you just added that one tonight. 

When I got home you were just getting into your punch-drunk state and we were having a lot of fun playing on the couch.

You also did a lot of "talking." we know you're trying to tell us something, but It's mainly gibberish. We just wish we knew what you wanted us to know. 

I need to record some of it so you know what I'm trying to tell you.
