fruit talk

Don't let this first shot of the video put you off. It's not about our fridge, as amazing as that is. It's about Maeve! Shocker. She busted out the word, "apple" yesterday, and luckily the camera was nearby. She also says "nana" in it, but that's old news. Just for the record, she says: mama, dada, chau, bye-bye, hi, hello, ball, NO!, nana and now apple. Or pretty close to all of those. And of COURSE not on cue when I'm trying to show her off... gotta make sure we know who's really in charge. Oh, she says, "ah-da!" when she hears a dog bark, too.

Also yesterday, she finally signed "cracker". Yep, big day. She would always just look at me when I'd do it, and not even attempt it herself. Probably because I was always about to give her a cracker anyway, so why bother asking? Yesterday while I was getting dinner ready I heard her say what sounded a little like "dada" but was just different enough to mean something else, so I turned around and there she was, a-knocking away on her elbow while eyeing the box of Triscuits. Yummm... Triscuits.
