MaMa

Callie finally calls me MaMa! It just took me leaving for 3 days for her to get it down pat. Today she said it about 50 times! All day was mama mama. It wasn't a problem for me. I was excited every time she said it and I acted very happy every time she said it. That might have contributed to her saying it so much.

I missed this little girl. I was excited to see her at 6 am when she woke up even though I was still exhausted. I had fun spending the day with her and just enjoying having her around. She took a 2 hr morning nap and I took a nap too so I could catch up.

Juan and I have been so impressed with her language. She is extremely expressive and uses a lot of words. We counted over 20 words she uses regularly that are understandable. These are words she uses spontaneously and not words she copies us saying. If you counted those it is way more.

Here is the list, mostly for me so when I look back one day I know all the words she used.
