Olivia's First Official Word!!!!!!

So, don't get me wrong, she's been saying dada and mama for weeks, and lately she's been rambling off a whole bunch of something - we're not sure what. It's actually become a fun game we play trying to guess what she's saying. All morning she kept saying something that sounded either like "What's up" or "Shut up". So I was like, "I don't know whether to spank you or high five you." But this afternoon, while we were celebrating Aunt Julie's birthday, she said the first clear word that we all understood. It may not be clear to you from this video, but when we heard her say it the first time, it was clear as day. Try and make it out for yourself first. . .



Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard correctly. She said "SISTER"! It's really no surprise that this would be her first word because she clearly LOVES Juliana way more than she loves anything or anyone. Of course the first times she said it (before the camera came out) were far clearer, but hey, what can you do. And yes, that is Juliana, laid up in her recliner and watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

And here is a cute picture of Aunt Julie with her cake. No, there is no trick photography involved. The cake was a bit lopsided. Those eye look familiar. Wait, isn't that the famous Olivia face?
