The game is on. The avalanche of new words coming from the B has begun, just as everyone kept telling me that it would. We knew she understood a lot of what we were saying, but now so much more of the noises she makes are actual words instead of gibberish.
No matter how prepared you think you are for it, when she suddenly pops out with "butterfly" (well, okay, "buh-fwy!") while pointing to the embroidered outline of a butterfly on her sleeper, it's still a little mind-bending.
We've been writing down new words on our wall calendar, on the day we're sure she's saying it with intention. That went from a bit of ink on the calendar in September, to a smattering in October, to "oh my gosh, we're running out of room every day" in November.
This morning, she said, "pants" when we were getting out her clothes for the day. She's a little person! She feels more and more like an independent being every day, but it's moments like that when you realize exactly how far she's come.
