A few weeks ago, Ridley started saying "Bah-bah-bah-bah!" with every "bye-bye" wave. I thought it was cute, but wasn't sure if I could count it as her first word. Then, one morning last week I was bringing her into our bed with her bottle, as I do in the mornings before we start our day, and as soon as she saw Phil she exclaimed, "Dah-dah-dah-dah!!" After a few days of consistent "Dah-dah"s around Phil, I'm finally willing to admit that she has said her first word. It could just be her new sound she's trying out, but she seems to know that it means her Daddy. And every time I say "Ma-ma! Ma-ma," to her, she looks at Phil and screams, "Dah-dah! Dah-dah-dah-dah!"
She is also getting very stable at standing and pulling up to a stand. She cruises around on the furniture and she tries very hard to climb out of the tub every night. If we had stairs, she'd be climbing them for sure! She loves to grab my hands and "walk" me around the house.
Here's a picture of Ridley and her grandma doing just that at our yard sale last weekend.
