First Word: Eyes!

So the big news is...Maëlle has said her first word!! And it is....

EYES!

Actually, it sounds more like just a plain old soft "e" sound, but it's unmistakable that she's using it in the right way.

She's been saying it for a few weeks now, but at first we weren't quite sure that she was doing it on purpose. But now there's no doubt. Whenever she picks up one of her dolls or toys she points to their eye and says "EYE".

Whenever she reads one of her books she turns the page, looks for the first face she can see and points and says "EYE".

It's extremely cute and it makes us SOO proud of her.

Other Progress

Maëlle also now stands on her own, and can even walk if she would just realize that she can. She's so proud of herself though when she stands. She rockets her arms above her head as if to say "Look mom and dad, NO HANDS!!"
