we have a word!

Okay, so the "haaaaaaa" for "hi" was pretty suspect, but tonight at dinner, after eating some ground-up curried meatballs (yes, we have adventurous baby food at our house!), Kate very definitely declared, "Num-ah! Num-ah!"

And given that I have long been telling her how "Nummy, nummy!" her food is, I think I'm calling this a real word. :)


and then, after dinner tonight, she and Jane were both pulling up on, well, everything they could reach, and yelling happily in unison, "Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya! Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya!"

And no, I don't know what "ah-ya-ya-ya-ya" means besides, "hey, we're standing up, aren't we so cool?" so I'm not calling THAT an official word, but it sure was pretty cute.

p.s. and Jane is really cruising now. Tonight she went from Adam to a dining room chair to her own little clip-on chair. Once. The second time she missed her grab. Stand-grab-thunk!-waaa!-comfort-setdown-stand-grab-thunk!-waaa!-comfort-setdown is a very regular rhythm around our house these days.
