Her First Word !!

It was last week actually--- she has been making random "word" sounds, mama, dada, nananana, in the usual baby rant style, but last week she actually associated spoken language with its physical counterpart--- she "got" the concept, it was so clear you could even read her thought process--- as she looked in deep concentration ----AUUUUU.....TINNNN !
Clearly, she was calling her most favourite and adored cousin-- Austin----- The funny part is, he calls her his brother!!!
It's so darned cute we just go along with the misconception---- we'll leave that up to Mandy to explain--- She goes absolutely crazy when she sees him, squealing and hollering, something like Beatlemania, or 'Trudeaumania (sorry dad)--and he tries so hard to escape her adulation----

you know what they say, once they start talking it never stops, look at Angie she has been talking since she was 3 months old and hasn't stopped yet, to quote Dad, "She has a hinged tongue that flaps on both ends and was vacinated with a gramaphone needle!"
Wonder if Lexy wil be like that*LOL*

give him twelve years and he'll do a flip about on running away from adoring little girls.

But Lexy is such a cute baby! She really does love her big bro eh?

Wait 'til they're in school, and someone tries to pick on her. I bet he'll be there to protect her faster than he runs away now :o)

Mandy: Don't try too hard with the brother thing, it's kind of cute!!

g: He amazes me everyday with his sophisticated language skills.

K&S: Do I detect slight sibling rivalry??

H: It's nice they have each other, since they're both onlys,,so far !!

FF: The gap will narrow in a hurry, that's for sure-

Mikki; They'll probably be going to different schools, but I can already see that protective streak at times-

LJLC: Just goes to show, we learn what we NEED to know faster than anything else!!
