duck, book, back pack, sit, hat, hot, high, fly, HI, slide, up, down (sometimes), potty, pot, cat, and a host of sound effects, wooh wooh wooh-- that would be a dog.

It's so much freakin fun to hear my daughter saying words for the first time. town? how the hell does she now that one? i never had a reason to use it around her. clock is a great, slightly mangled word in her mouth. cuck-el. sort of. It's a little like she's some sort of click clicking tribesman in eastern New Guinea. In just two weeks Ruby turns 2 years old. she's turning more and more into a kid, shedding the baby ness as she goes. in the past month she started yelling "mama....mama...MAMA" when she wants to get out of her crib. She somehow discovered that rather than just crying, she could state her desires. and as I've heard other moms describe, this is no sweet tinkling sound of a sweet smelling nymph, this is a Jersey truck driver ordering another pabst. BEER! I never could quite imagine what it would be like to be a mother. leaning over to caress her curls and drink in the baby smell of her. sweet sweet sweet.
