Beach, First Words and New Bath Towels

Let's see, where to start? I'll take first words for 100.

There has been ongoing "discussion" in our home on how to call the first word. According to D, the word must be uttered very clearly AND there must be (this is key) abundant evidence of comprehension. By abundant, I mean not one, two or even three times will suffice for this man. Even after four incidents, he is still not fully convinced. I think it's because he is so touched. Xavier's first word is Daddy...yes, meeting all the above criteria. I was convinced it was "mira" (look), but Daniel said that X pointing to everything and saying something that sort of sounded like mira does not count (no evidence of comprehension, according to him). Fine. Xavier now points to his dad when asked "where's daddy?" and will also say "da'y" or "dedy" when pointing to him. This has now happened four or more times...so I've decided to call it. There.

New Bath Towels...A gift from our cousins in California and totally adorable.

Funny, we have the exact same conversation going on in our household. Though Zach will now admit that she definitely says a version of banana and a clear uh-oh.
