Kaiya actually said her very first word about three weeks ago, and I have been trying to capture it on video to post on the blog, but that task has been proven to be harder than it would seem. Every time I try to video her she sees me with the camera and comes after it. So here are two recent attempts, and together I think they capture Kaiya's ability to say "ball".
It really is funny to hear her say this all day long. The first thing she does when we get her out of her crib after a nap or in the morning is point and say "baah!". The funniest thing is when she takes a break from nursing just to say ball and then continues. I think she's really pleased with herself and likes to show off her new talent as much as possible.
She can understand probably about a dozen words now and when we ask her where one of them is she turns to look at it (like she did in the video) and sometimes points. Some of the ones she knows are ball (obviously), outside, daddy, mommy, grandma, book, and hippo. Even though she knows mama and dada and can say them, she won't call Patrick and I dada or mama yet. I was hoping Mama would be her first word, but I guess she has more of her dad's love for sports in her and "ball" won out. Well, maybe with the next baby...
