you may have noticed the absence of such a post and that is because until last week Sadie didn't speak. She understood us surprisingly well but didn't really have anything to say herself. We were starting to worry. And then, a week ago out of the blue we had a language explosion! It all started when we went out to dinner last Saturday. Sadie dropped her toy and Mom said "oh oh" and Sadie repeated it! Then every time something fell during dinner Sadie said "oh oh". We were so excited but didn't want to jinx it.
Then, just to add to our joy, Sadie added another word on our way back. Dad and Sadie were walking down the street holding hands (mom was pushing the stroller). It was quite an adorable sight to see and everyone who was walking past us in the other direction commented along the lines of "Hi cutie!" or "Hi there little girl!" So Sadie started saying "hi" back! And every time someone said it and she answered it got reinforced. Since then we've also added "dees" for "this" and "boo" for "book".
There's not really a picture that goes with this post, but here are just some cute pictures of Sadie on the play ground.
