'Ball'

Lillian loves balls! Yesterday afternoon while she was playing with them, i looked at her and said "ball". She got a big grin on her face, held the ball up high and said it right back to me! i was so excited!! Right now it comes out more like "bah", but she knows she's saying a word and what it means! if you say it to her while she's not holding a ball, she'll often smile, and go find one!

I feel like a bad mom, not knowing what her first official word was. She started saying 'dadada', 'mamama' and 'bababa' several months ago, but i don't think she made the connection that they meant anything until the last month. Regardless, she is learning SO fast now, and i'm loving every minute of it!
