She Speaks!!

This weekend, while I was away in Los Angeles for the TaeBo Boot Camp (more on that in a future post), Brynlee said her first deliberate words! When I called to check in on how everyone was doing, she said "Ma Ma"! And then, the evening I returned, we were getting ready for bed and reading books. When the book was done, I had to take it away from her, which made her upset. I tried to redirect her attention by asking, "Where is your turtle?" (referring to a large stuffed turtle in her crib given to her by her Uncle Ryan). She got a huge smile on her face, turned toward her crib and said, "Tuh tuh, tuh tuh!!" I got teary eyes right then. Since those words, she's saying bye bye, puppy ("puh puh"), and Da Da. I think the words will start flowing now!
