She Talks!

(this post is actually a week old - took some time to get the photos organized!!)


What a fun week we have been having - we have been waiting for it and now its happened - Violet speaks! She has had just a few words for a long time and is a really strong communicator using her combo of sign language, pointing and grunting etc. but now she is actually using some words and it is great!

Proud parents, I know - but I have to give you the list of some of what she is saying:

up, down, uh-oh, dog, hot, hat, baby, mama, dada, book, bubble, dig, poop- they are all coming out too quickly to keep up with. We are really excited about this new communications milestone and hoping it helps her frustration level a little :) We are most excited about "hi Georgie!", "Hi dada" and "hi mama" the latter I have not heard for myself yet.

She is still teething feverishly - more molars on the go. Its made her a bit cranky and it seems to be the most painful teething she has had so far.

Its late in the camping season but we have decided to take the plunge and try to take V camping on one of the september weekends - we will likely be exhausted from the experience but are pretty sure out west coast outdoor girl will love the experience.

Its been a great summer of hanging out in Victoria - we have taken Violet to lots of festivals and events and have taken advantage of our local parks with even a few visits to the water park!
