First Word!

Recently Shanna has been imitating sounds we make, such as when we say 'choo choo choo' (train), she goes 'tu tu tu tu'...

Today, she said 'keeerr' when shown a picture of a bear (I had been telling her that bears go Grrr).

Last Sunday, I fed Shanna papaya. As usual, I told her she was eating 'Papaya' clearly and slowly. She looked at me, and then said 'tataya'. She then smiled delighted at her new skill :) She said it a few times, each time she grinned happily after saying her 'tataya'. Her first real word. I was so proud of her! No video though, coz by the time we got the camera ready to film, the papaya was finished...

Here is a video of us playing ball though :)
