Words

Leah has been saying a few words for a while now - her favorite is her very own name.... Wee-aah. She went through a phase at day care where she said her own name over and over again. In fact, Owen's mom (Katye, who is a friend from yoga class, too) reports that instead of Mama or Dada, Owen's first word is Lee-laa! Maybe teaching is in her genes! In the past few weeks, Leah's vocabulary has exploded. Here are a few examples:

Yah or Da = yes (Russian influence???)
Dada = Daddy or doggie, depending on the context
Dat = that (we think this came from asking, "What's that?")
Mama
Baawl = ball
Baybee = baby
Jah = jacket (she LOVES to get her jacket because it means we're going outside!)
Uh-Oh
Weeee
Yummy yummy yummy

Leah also shrugs her shoulders and turns up her palms whenever asked a question, even if she knows the answer. It's very funny - maybe I'll capture it on the camera one of these days.
