"Oh Says-Anna" Oh don't you cry for me...

My last regular post was about some of the displays of opinion that we've seen from Caleb lately. Let me enhance your glimpse of our family life by filling you in on the latest display from Anna.

We're excited to watch how Anna is growing and developing. Here is a partial word list:

• Mama, Daddy, MehMeh (much like mama) for Mimi, Pawpaw, Dayduh (Caleb),
• hi, ball, cheese, uh-oh,
• teetoo (thank you), ah-duh(all done), puh (for "up" when she wants to be carried),
• boo (peekaboo), toe, eye, ear, bow (mouth but with a b), doh (nose),
• wah (walk), many animal sounds, and several other partial words for foods, etc.

Then there's the show of frustration when she doesn't get what she wants. Picture this with me if you would... She crinkles her face, shakes her head from side to side, then reaches behind her ears and flicks her hair forward to her face, saying a rather emphatic "Ohhh!"

This is usually a one time sound and motion, unless the severity of the offense against her warrants another.
