The Girl Knows What She Wants
This afternoon F. was fussing, and I asked her, “Do you want tissy,” tissy being our cute word for breast-feeding.* She got a big grin on her face. I said and gestured “come here” and she scooted across the floor to me.
Now, I am sure they’ve both understood us for a while, but this was the first time either has clearly demonstrated comprehension via a specific response. I am so charmed that her first reaction to speech that can’t be attributed to random chance was regarding breast-feeding. That certainly makes those first weeks of breast-feeding hell worth it. This is a girl who likes nursing.

Standing, straightforward comprehension… what a week for the twinkies. I’m sure the milestones will just keep on coming, faster than you can believe.

It’s kind of amazing when you start being able to actually communicate with them. Just think of the great conversations you’ll be having soon.
