Rose has started saying hi. Mostly to the cats. Every time she rounds a corner and one is sitting there she lets out a HHIIIIIIIIII, which usually send the feline bolting away as if he just saw a legion of undead walking his way.
She alos has just started calling me Da. No more dada or daddy for her, she just calls me Da.
Just about every time I come into the room now she looks up, points, and lets out a hi Da. It pretty much makes my world.
She isn’t saying much right now. She kinda says cat, Mama, Da, hi, and she knows how to use them. I swear that when I gave her a ritz cracker earlier she almost said thank you. She certainly had a look of gratitude while trying to say what ever it was “she had the cracker in her mouth at the time”
I am in no rush for her to start speaking. Honestly I am fine with hi Da for right now. As her vocabulary increases she will probably say it less and less. So for now I am just savoring that.

That’s adorable! Savoring it is a very good idea š
Joshua, how awesome for you and your little girl. I remember when my kids first started speaking, and yes indeed to–> “So for now I am just savoring that” because a year from now they’ll be saying almost full sentences but with a lot of attitude behind ’em. Lots of fun always. . .
