Just In Time for Father's Day

Clover was jumping in her Baby Einstein Jumper and her dad was sitting next to her.  She stopped jumping and looked at him with a sweet smile and said, "Daddy".  Not dada.  I can only imagine she was just so happy to be with her dad and she wanted him to know.  I was moved because it was so sweet and she said it so clear.  Later that day, I brought her into the kitchen and sat her down in her high chair.  She was looking for Johnny.  She turned to see him in the other room and started waving.  Then she said, "Heeey Daa-dee!" while she was waving.  It made our day. 

I can tell she wants to learn more words now.  She has lots of books and many are the picture books so they can learn the words.  Today, I noticed she was listening very hard to the words.  She is trying hard to repeat some words, and she has "moo" down pretty good.  (Daddy, Momma/Mommy, Moo, Yay, Hey)  She understands lots of other words (no, milk, bottle, baby, Grandma, book).  And she recognizes songs and tries to "sing" along by just opening her mouth and making noise.  Sometimes, she seems on key.
