Using Her Words

Listening to Kate's language skills develop is so fascinating. First, she learned to make all sorts of phonetic sounds. That was cool, because she often isolated them and did the phonogram perfectly, without blending, "f" and "s" were particularly good examples. Then, she blended sounds together, such as "st". Now she has moved on to "words" which she is working on using correctly. Her three words are "dada" "mama" and "baba". Apparently, baba is a word for nursing, or really anything desireable, such as organic brown rice puffs, which are her new favorite snack.
