For The Record: Ma-Ma

We are in the middle of moving to Atlanta.  This means we have been running around frantically trying to find a rental house, get an application approved, visit daycare, and get oriented before Barbri starts for me tomorrow.  This also means that we have no computer to upload photos to, and it will be another week before that can happen.  But there are lots of exciting stories coming up, so stay tuned.  For now, here's an update that happened 2 weeks ago, during the height of exams and we haven't had a chance to post yet.

------------------------------

Leah officially said "Ma Ma" Friday night, 5/4/12.  She's been saying it faintly and not very decisively for about a week.  That night she said it deliberately.  And, in perfect Leah style, she's now on to "Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma....." 

She also crawled into the bedroom when she got home from daycare, looked around for BA (who is usually at his desk in the bedroom, but this time wasn't there), stopped, sat down, and said "Da Da?"  The second BA opened the front door she started crawling towards it.  The other day, she started crawling towards the door as soon as she heard the keys slide into the door lock.  Pretty amazing.  That little Peanut just doesn't want to be left out of anything!

She's drinking out of her sippy cup on her own, and you won't catch her taking the easy way around something if it's in her crawling path.  No matter what it is, she'll attempt to go straight over it, even dragging it along with her if necessary (usually without even realizing it).

And she has her first toothbrush now.  I think she was a little surprised, and a little tickled when we used it for the first time.  But mostly, I think she just thought it was another fun little adventure and went along for the ride.
