First Words!

Yesterday was a big day for Lyla Joy. She took her first steps and (debatably) said her first word. To get her Father's attention, she is reported to have yelled "Dada". This isn't surprising as she's been making lots of sounds for a long time. My favorites are "ing ing" (pronounced like the Chinese "in" on the end of words, e.g. "xin") and "ta ta ta", which for some reason she always whispers. Personally, I think I witnessed her first word a few weeks ago. She loves imitating "no no no" while shaking her head and when we were in Altoona I distinctly heard a clear "no" whe she was shaking her head. I'm sure many more words will be coming forth shortly. For now, Katie is a little said because Lyla hasn't said "Mama" yet.
