First Word

Jocelyn has said her first word! It is 'bye-bye'. We went to Mom and Dad's for the weekend, and she was playing with the pop-up toy - where you push the button, move the switch, etc. and the charcter pops up. She would push it down, then Mom would say 'bye-bye' and wave. Then she'd push the button, it would pop up, and the cycle would start again. About half way thru she started to say 'ba-ba' when she waved. I wasn't convinced she really knew what she was saying though, until we left. Then I told her to say goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa, and she said it again while she waved. Yeah!

Now, I should say that she has said words before - she says 'mama', the 'p' sound for Grandpa/Bumpa and 'no'. But she's never said it at the right time or unprompted. We're looking forward to this new stage - I love all the funny things kids say!
