She Speaks!

This morning I went to Hannah who was in her crib. When she saw me she started saying "Da Da Da...". While she has repeated some words in the past, this is the first time she's spoken a word associated with an object (or person in this case). She also said "ilow" when Joel gave her a pilow and said the word. It is also clear that she understands what the words "fruit" and "pasta" mean, even though she has not said these words yet.

Also, over the weekend, Hannah did some walking. She took about 15 steps, spurred on my much enthusiasm and encouragement from the rest of us. Walking is still a novelty for her; if she is serious about moving around it's still four wheel drive.
