We have words!!

Awhile back we shared that we think "dada" was Ryan's first word. OK, fine, I'll acquiesce to that thought. But, more importantly, since then - more words have finally crept out. As of today, Ryebread's vocabulary includes (in order of appearance):

• Dada
• Mama
• No (it doesn't appear often, thank goodness)
• Balloon (this one is a stretch, but it's close enough)
• Uh Oh (yes, we drop things on purpose just to hear it - don't judge)
• Ball
• Dog (minus the "g" sound, but really, such small details)

While the sweet moments surely outweigh the sticky moments when it comes to raising our little man, the sweetest moments are the ones of new discovery. I think Rye is so excited he can (limitedly) verbalize his thoughts. Beyond that - he even figured out how to hold his hands up in the "I don't know" pose. We need to capture it on camera...he does it when anything he was focusing on (people, objects) leaves his line of sight. So stinkin' cute.
