Words!

Ok, so Tara is slowly gearing up to talking in a "well-be-able-to-understand-her-words" kind of way.

She says Mamma a lot, and Dadda a fair bit. She says mummummummummum when she wans something... Gah! if she is exclaiming something... etc.. she has words, just not entirely understandable.

Well the other night arrived her first word that was mimicked from us, understood by her and then understood by us once she repeated it. What was this miraculous word you ask?

djah!

That's not a word I hear you say. Ahhhh.. but to us it is... It is JACK. Jack is the name we gave her almost-shoplifted doll from the second hand store. She decided she needed him, and walked out of the store. Luckily I had change and just gave it to the people behind the counter!

Jack goes to many places now, and he is the first male doll we have. So we gave him an easy name - Jack. (unlike her first special doll - Esmerelda! haha.).

So "DJAH!" means Jack. And she says it a fair bit now. So I have decided I need to listen to her vocab words a bit more and see if there are other things I can understand but have not yet Heard.

Wheee... talking!

Go Tara! Harry lost Doll and when we found her again in a Big W she just sat down there and then in teh aisle and started ripping her out of the box! :o) I had to rush to the checkout in order to claim her as ours and be able to rip her clothes off in peace.
