Dagny Says Ball!

Since "Hi" and "Uh-oh" appeared around ten months, for the past month or so Dagny's vocabulary hasn't been expanding.  Lots of different sounds and lots of verbal enthusiasm, but no "mama" on Mother's Day or "dada" on Father's day. Sigh.  But last week, she added a new word that may not have been the word I was hoping for -- but a word very applicable in her daily life.

She's very proud of this accomplishment and so were we.  She's been using the word all around since then - pointing out the enclosure of giant play balls at Target, reaching for her beloved golf ball out in the garage while yelling "ball ball ball," and whenever anything round rolls by :)

Yesterday, while playing with some of her toys, she latched onto a stuffed duck with a Tufts shirt and he kept saying, "duck duck duck" to her and she got it, repeating, "du du du."  Good job, D!
