Uh-Oh

At Adelyn's year appointment I asked our doctor about her speech development because I thought she was a little behind.  While we were there she happened to say a few words so he said there was no need to worry.  Since then, I don't feel like her speech has progressed much.

She "talks" all the time, but she isn't really forming words.  If she does, it is accidental like when she says "dada."  This week she has mastered her first word, "uh-oh."  It is the cutest thing!  She says it deliberately and in the right circumstances. 

We talked to our pediatrician friend and he said he wouldn't worry because she understands and obeys things we say.  He said to make sure and work with her some each day and let her watch our mouth as we say things.  It will come when she is ready.  I am so excited to hear her little voice talking!  She makes lots of sounds that mimic words or phrases that we say but to hear real words will be so fun!

I can't do a post without a picture!  This is from the other day when I had to wake Adelyn up to get ready! She is like me and loves to sleep!

hahah!! I love that hair pic!! She is so adorable! Scarlett has not been saying a whole lot of words either- she jabbers a lot. Her favorite thing to say still is "MAMAA!" Like she seriously yells it- soo funny. :-)
