First Word!!

Rylee has her first word!! It may not seem like a very normal first word for a baby, but for those of you who have spent much time around her you will see that it is the perfect first word for her! For those of you who haven't seen her do this I will explain so that it makes a little more sense. Ever since she was just a tiny, brand-new baby Rylee has loved to be scared! Chad chases her around the floor and she squeals and runs and laughs until she can't breath. Even the kids at daycare know that all they had to do to make her laugh is get right in her face and say boo really loud! Even before she was old enough to sit up on her own, I would come to pick her up after class and she would be sitting in her seat with the kids all circled around her where they could take turns saying boo and watch her laugh! Now that she can walk they have fun hiding behind the furniture and then jumping out to scare her. It probably sounds pretty weird because most babies don't like to be scared, but with Ry the better you can scare her the harder she laughs. So it is no big suprise that her first word is BOO!!! We were really excited about her learning to talk so we have been trying to teach her other words. We point at something and then say "book", or "ball", or "cup" and then Rylee points at it and says "boo!" So for now everything is "boo!" The best part is how much it cracks her up! She will be sitting in the living room playing with her toys, and from the kitchen we hear this "boo!" and then 5 minutes of laughing at herself! It is pretty hilarious!
