Aria is going to be quite the chatter-box, i can already tell... it's amazing how she can imitate the vocal inflections of josh and i. her infatuation with watching our mouths when we speak is also quite amusing. from day 1, i've wanted her to have good verbal skills - we talk to her all the time, read to her, and show her words and tell her what they mean... she's also been infatuated with "reading" since she was little too, from staring at her name in big, bold, contrasting colors on her wall to trying so very hard to read the warning labels on her toys, (we had to watch out when she would try to read the one on her swing, however; it made her prety dizzy if she tried for too long lol) she's always been in love with words.
as of recently she's begun to jabber quite constantly. unfortunately, her favorite time to chat it up is when there's something in her mouth - definitely a habit we're going to need to break once she starts eating real food. i so wish i could understand what goes on in her little brain when she looks at me in a very serious, brows pulled down, no smile face and talks to me about something of obvious great importance to her lol. some things she does communicate very well and that's usually when she's happiest....squealing and waving her arms, the big smile - does it get any better than that?!
now we're just waiting for her first word and wondering what it'll be (josh's was "cookie" so i'm not holding out high hopes for "mama" lol.)
what were your kid's first words?
dada! And I was so very happy when that is what she would say in the middle of the night! lol
