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!"
