Bye Daddy!

Annelise has been getting closer and closer to actually speaking words. She says "mamama" all the time and has recently started to say "ba" to John when he leaves for work in the morning. It sounds like a real southern "bye". She is usually cruising around in her walker when he leaves in the morning. She follows him to the door and yells "ba (bye)" to him repeatedly and waves. It usually takes John a little longer to leave now because he returns her goodbye and waves a lot too. She stays there waving and saying bye until his car is gone. It is really fun to watch. It is interesting to see how much she loves her daddy. She gets very happy when he comes home from work too. Big smiles and arms raised always greet him when he arrives. We will be spending next week at my parents' house while John attends a kayak training. I am not sure if we will have internet access. Here is a fun picture of a quick bath Annelise got after flooding the changing table! What was your first word?
