Hannah's First Word

Hannah doesn't say much yet. She's plenty noisy and babbles a lot, but doesn't really bother with actual words for the most part. A couple of weeks ago though, we noticed that she would often point to things and say, "Uhn-Dish." She was pretty consistant, and after a while I noticed that when she pointed to things, we would point and ask, "You want this?" It was then that I realized she was saying, "WANT THIS!" So that's it. That's her first word:

"WANT THIS!"
It's a pretty efficient phrase to learn, if you think about it. Why learn several words when one single phrase can get you just about anything you want? If she wants the cookie you're eating, she points to it and says, "Uhn-dish." If she wants you to read her a book, she hands it to you and says, "Uhn-dish." If she wants you to pick her up, she holds her arms up to you and says, "Uhn-dish." I could go on and on.
Last week when I was making the cupcakes for Andrew's school party, Hannah pointed to the cupcakes and said, (you guessed it) "Uhn-dish." I said no. She didn't like that. Later, I had to leave the kitchen to check on the boys. I came back just in time to see Hannah standing on her little tippy toes to grab a handful of cupcake from the countertop. I forget how tall she is now.Just then, I noticed her T-shirt said, "Eat a cupcake." Check. It was a pretty action-packed day. Later that afternoon, she fell asleep in her Ramen Noodles.

I tried to comment earlier and I don't think it worked. Anyway, I said what a smart kid you've got and that I love the pictures! Also, we've got your ladder still. We wanted to bring it to you before Nathan left, but ran out of time. If y'all want to come by and get it, that would be great. I would bring it to you but I can't fit it in my van unless I take out all my car seats.

She is a cute little thing. It sounds like she is a busy girl. My 14 month old boy is the same way...he just babbles. He does however use the same phase...can't quite figure out what he is saying though.
