Talking

January definitely was a month for some major milestones as it brought not only walking but also Cara's first two words. It probably took us a day or so to realize that when Cara said "mama" (or often "amama") was not just random babbling, but she was actually referring to someone. Or someones - she definitely uses for both her parents, and when I showed her Ms. A's Christmas card (with a picture of Ms. A with her sons) Cara also said "mama". But she definitely has the idea that we as a select group of people have a name.

Her second word was quite obvious, and has gotten a lot more exercise. "Uh oh!" is now the favorite expression. Context appropriate of course, when she has purposefully dropped her cup off from her chair. She taught it to her friend Isabel, and Ms. A got a kick out of the two of them uh-oh'ing away at lunch. We're still waiting for the first sentence which is bound to be "Uh oh, Mama!".
