She would make her Chinese missionary great great grandparents proud--she has four "ma" words :)

(Since I made this list over Thanksgiving, she's also added "goo gil" (good girl), oof (dog), no (no), noo (nose--complete with pointing to her nose), nigh nigh (put me to bed!) and nuh (nurse).

Is it just me, or is that a lot for a not yet 13 month old to be saying?

She also followed her first command--two fridays ago I asked her to get her blankie from in my office (I was in the doorway). She stared at me for a minute, then went and got it :)

Tonight in the car I asked her what a kitty says (expecting to say Meow myself) and she said "Mao"...I did the same for a dog and she said "Oof."

She is growing so fast--somehow she doesn't listen when I ask her to slow down :)
