First Word

Leighton says HI! On occassion Leighton has started to say Hi, but he just wispers it for some reason.

And while we were in MN Leighton learned how to say UP! He totally takes advantage of this one and demands to be picked up a lot. We want him to know that he is saying it correctly and to positively reinforce the use of words, but that means we are constantly picking him up!

He also has mastered Uh-Oh! He loves to intentionally drop things, especially behind th couch and then say Uh-Oh, holding the Oooooooooh for a while with his lips in an O position.

Of course he already says mamma and dadda, but we are not convinced that he knows who is who! He also tries to say a lot of words like dog, down, and ball, but only really gets the first sound out.
