Hooray!!!

Today was just another day at the Smith household...until...

Emma was playing and she ran up to me and said very clearly, "Hi Mommy". Brian and I looked at eachother at the exact moment and we must have had the same expression. Jaws dropped with tears in our eyes. Shock and excitement. Wow.

She has been talking a lot more lately. She can now say clearly and know the meaning to the following words:

"NO!!" (of course)
"poopy"
"pee-pee"
"GO!" (usually said while playing horsie with dad, riding on his back.)
"one, two, three"
and now "Hi mommy".

I probably seem really silly for becoming so excited. I mean she was bound to talk sooner or later. It's just that I have been working so hard with her these past 8 months, and up until this last month or so she wasn't progressing at all, and now its like pow, she is talking. And counting.

She also has done really well with all of her new signs. I am so proud of my little princess.
