Bai!

Adi said B! Bbb. And Mmm. Those are her consonants right now. She first said mmm about a month ago, at 9 1/2 months. Now she says it on a regular basis... "Ammm mammm."

And this Shabbos she called out, "Mba!" Then yesterday Zusha was trying to get Adel to bite a teething toy (since she has been putting things in her mouth! Did I mention that? It's a HUGE step in her development. I am so grateful.) He was telling Adel, "Bise, bise, Adi!" (Bite) Adel didn't want to and made a face (love her faces!), pushed Zusha away and yelled, "Baaaai!" Zusha was so excited. "Adel is telling me to bite!"
Heh heh. I don't know if she was actually repeating the sound Zusha made or just made a sound she knew how. Probably the latter, but it's huge in my eyes.

I know I sound like a mother that amplifies every coo and sigh, but I think I'm entitled! She hasn't been saying any consonants and now at almost 11 months she has two!

Also, Gedalya has a message:

Also, we sold a stroller we were trying to sell for over a year. It was at a loss, but still within our acceptable range. Yay!

Also, I have a huge pile of pants to alter for Zusha. He's a bit pudgy, so everything is too small in the waist, and if I get a bigger size, toooo long in the legs. I finally accepted this and ordered husky pants. I was annoyed to discover that the size 6 fits just right with almost no room to grow, while the legs are still an inch too long! And this is a kid who is still within the normal weight range- 90th percentile for both weight and height. It's so hard to find pants for him, I just resigned to getting size 7 (for a five year old) and altering them.

Also, it's the time of year where there are two seasons of clothing in the closets, and there's no room for that! I can't find what I need and it's generally messy. But it's always fun to change around a closet for a new season anyway!
