Nananananana!

Last night Papa and I were sitting at the dinner table, crafting an email to the apartment leasing office. You were crawling under the table, between our legs. Pulling my pants, climbing on chairs... Then you started a loud Nanana, followed by another nanana, and another! We joined you in excitement and all three of us chanted a nanananana!

This is a big linguistic milestone. You are exposed to too many languages which makes things confusing, as you try to separate sounds and make a language choice. But there it was, your first repetitive consonant. Nanana. I was very happy to be a witness. I'm missing out on your development while at work. So it's a major treat to catch what I can. W

Grandma Roza said that you understand certainexpressions. When she says "Let's change popo," you look down and touch your diaper. When she says "Lets go dut dut" you get excited, knowing you are going outside. I noticed too, that you started understanding some speech, mostly by the way you look at me when I say certain things.

Can't wait to hear your next sound. What's it going to be? Mama?
