She’s also saying “Mary,” in reference to the Maiden Mary “Little People” toy we purchased for her yesterday.
Also, she’s saying “more.” “More” is the first word that she’s regularly signed that she now speaks.

In the last week, she’s added: beaver, bunny rabbit, hop-hop-hop, and dwa-dwa-dwa, which is either “wag-wag-wag” or “swat-swat-swat,” phrases she picked up from her “Tails” board book.

The Gallery 1 install on this site is gone. Gone. Gone. Gone.
Subsumed into the Gallery 2 install I have hosted elsewhere.
Gallery 2, at this point, does not have an RSS feed, so the RSS block on the right has been removed. The link to the photo albums, on the left, points to the new…wait for it…photo albums.
Enjoy!
