Learning Opposites

Good morning - lookie here, we've posted 3 days in a row...and on the weekend too no less (yes Dave, that's in response to you!)

Libby's found it very funny this weekend to begin learning her opposites. Up until now, one of her favorite sounds has been "Da". Now, I think it's pretty cool, but we want her to say "Ma" too. We've been trying to get her to say it for a while, but to no luck. This weekend she's made a game out of it. Tricia will look at her, point to herself and say to Libby, "Ma". Lib looks at her, smiles, and will inevitably say "Da". Every time. Without fail. And Libby smiles the whole time too, like it's one big game to her. She's a little booger, that's for sure!

On the ice storm...we're still here. And it's still cold. And icy.

We've been toying with the idea of uploading some video to the blog of some of Libby's better moments on film. We figured it out (we hope) with this clip. To set the scene...Tricia was playing with Lib one day with her toy phone that she got for Christmas. When the phone would ring, Tricia would tell Libby that it was Daddy on the phone. Every now and again, Libby would respond with "Da". We managed to get it on film, but Libby really whispered it. Turn up the volume on your speakers and enjoy - maybe we'll do more videos!

Oh, and I apologize for the quality of the video - we didn't realize how dark our living room was at night until this clip!
