Maggie's First Word

This little girl said her first word on Tuesday night.  Will sat her down on the floor in her room, and she looked up at him and said "da da." Now, she chirps "da da" all day long.  It is the sweetest sound in the world.

Never mind that "ma ma" is the one who carried her for nine months, gave birth to her, and wakes up in the middle of the night to nurse her.  She said "da da."  

Henry said "da da" first, too.  Only sweet Lucy said "ma ma" first.  I guess we know who is getting mama's jewels one day.

I love it when babies learn to feed themselves.  They work, and work to get that little cheerio from the tray, to their hand, and into their mouth.  Finally, they succeed.  The pride on their face is priceless.  Today, I sprinkled some cheerios on Maggie's tray and she got them to her mouth.  I'm one proud mama.
