First Words

Rhona says Mamamamamamama, but it doesn't mean Mama, it means I want something. Or I'm having fun blowing big old bubbles and making a noise while I do it. Maybe more like Muhmuhmuhmuhmuh.

A couple of days ago, Dad said "aaaooooga" and Rhona said it right back, very carefully, with an extremely long oooooo and a prim and hesitant -ga after a tiny pause at the end. Then they each said it again. The day before that, I was turning the pages of a book and said "whee!"and she echoed "whee!" with precisely the same intonation.

She might have said "up" once or twice. And she echoed Mab a few times, after she called "Faelan!" loudly up the stairs. Only Rhona left out the consonants, so it was a loud call of "Ae-an!"

Mab the show princess

Mab is singing songs. Lyrcs include:

Seven morning glories rise
Before the baby is born
To the loving of the able best

She also sings about lovely queebs, cigabets, and falvation. Yes. Queebs, from context, are queens.

She informed me that she was going to do a show. She was a princess. The other princess had died. How? An earwing went in her ear, very far. It hurt. So then it killed her? No, she just died from it. Ah. (Earwing = earwig. Ew.)

Joel and I were kissing this morning and she interrupted us to say "you guys, that looks very ...pleasant." Where have we gone wrong?

There are probably too many photos in this album, because I had trouble getting rid of anything that wasn't blurry. Newborns are cute. Warning: Lots of snuggling.

Well. These are almost all photos of foliage. I guess that;s why I forgot to post them.
