Zayd's first sentence!

Thursday Zayd said his first sentence, "Bye big hiya." (Hiya = elephant, if you don't follow the blog religiously.)

Beyond that we had at least a half dozen new words emerge today:

• please (coming for a while because I have heard him SING it along with a favorite Grover song)
• milk (while signing!)
• head
• mouth
• knee
• Maren
• Milo
• Jude (sorry Ellie!)
• Bodhi
• black

It was a very exciting day for us! I just HAD to commemorate it with a photo of Zaydie on the elephant statue. I propped him up there to get it just right. (Snap! Snap! Snap!)

Fancy mommy with her fancy camera backed up to get just the right shot. Further. Further. Ka-bang! Mommy goes flying backwards over what she hopes isn't her newborn daughter asleep in the stroller.

Nope! Just a bench.

And I have the bruise to prove it!
