The Letter A

This morning, Madison has said her biggest word yet: "banana." She's able to say a lot of words, and have us understand them - but this one she said quite clearly. We had her say "ba," and then "nana," and the rest is history. She said, "banana!" And she didn't stop giggling! We were all very happy - as of late, we've made some great advances with our own version of speech therapy.

The advances didn't stop there. Tonight, Daddy asked her to write the letter A on a tiny magnetic writing toy. Here's what she did for us!

Daddy was so proud of her that we took a photo of her first real letter. Of course, she can draw an "O" too. That one is easy: it's just a circle!

THE SHREK CHIA CAM

1.20.11: Madison is seen here checking out the green sprouts coming out of the back of Shrek's head - and his nose too. There's some serious growth, the lower you go on the head. This proves that the lower altitudes of the Shrek hemisphere are clearly more conducive for chia goodness.
