First Word

Well today was Ruby's 'Little Snappers' swim lesson. She learned how to do the 'Humpty Dumpty', which is when I coax her to 'jump' (but really fall into) the pool and I catch her. By the end of the lesson she loved it and would readily jump in the water to me. When we got into the car to go home I was repeating some of the commands we use in class. I said, "one, two, three, under!" I was looking at her in the rear view mirror and saw her mouth form 'under'. I was so excited. So I kept trying to get her to say 'under' the whole way home. She said it several times and I even got it on video! She now says it most of the time when asked. How odd one of her first words would be 'under'!
