"UP"

Well Lilly, I think your first word that actually means something is UP. I know you mumble Mamma...Dadda, but I don't' think you associate them with Me and your Dad yet. I know that is just around the corner.

I started noticing this weekend that when you wanted me to pick you up...you no longer crawled to my leg....hung on it, and did the MOAN.... I asked Gma Nellie about this yesterday, and she said yes when they crawl over to me and want to be picked "UP" I say UP UP UP..and Lilly caught on first. So now when you are on the ground and want to be "UP"...you say UP. If you are on my lap and want to be put DOWN on the floor.... you say "UP." I know what you mean.

You are slowly learning some sign language as well. We hope to teach you "Bottle" (squeeze hand and it looks like bye bye kind of) "EAT" (put your fingers to your mouth) "All Done", "Please", etc.
