Language is an interesting thing. I didn't realize the words I use had such a profound effect on Reilly's new and growing vocabulary. I had read somewhere that parents should narrate their activities and daily life with their baby - telling them what they see and what they are doing throughout the day.... So when I started doing this with Reilly, I would say things like....
"that is an airplane in sky."
"that is a tree."
"that is mommy's nose."
"that is mommy's phone...not a toy for Reilly."
Aside from mama and dadda, I always thought Reilly's first word would be plane or ball or something along those lines.... Oh no, of course not. Reilly's first and favorite word is "THAT". Opps, I didn't realize I always started my narrative dialogue with "that"! It's pretty darn funny around our house these days.
