Julia has started talking.

A lot.

She’s been talking, but her vocabulary seems to have grown by leaps and bounds just in the last month. It seems like she’s adding a new word every day or two. In fact, this past Sunday she added, Sister/Sissy to the list. She’s never gotten down “Hannah”. She always says “Nah” or signs “Hannah”. I’ve been working with her on “HAN-nah”, but she seems to get more frustrated than anything else.

Sunday Julia was sitting next to Hannah and kept saying “sss”. I asked her “Are you saying “sister”? Is that your sissy?” She nodded yes and from there has started calling Hannah “sissy”. I gotta admit, I LOVE it! I was (still am) called “sissy/sis” by my family growing up and really wanted Julia to go by “sissy”. But it seems that Hannah will be “sissy”.

Speaking of Sissy…

Hannah is so close to rolling over! She keeps rolling onto her side, but can’t quite manage to get all the way over without help. I’ve been practicing with her; she’ll get on her side and I will start rocking her back and forth, then roll her over on her tummy. She thinks its a pretty funny game and gets quite a kick out of it. We’ve also had her sitting in her Bumbo seat. She loves it! We put her on the table while we eat dinner and she just laughs and spits up. It’s pretty cute, if I do say so myself. 🙂
