ball

Yeah, David's new word is "ball." We are pretty sure he knows what it means. The other day, he said "ba" and we offered him both a bottle and a ball, and he chose the ball.

But that is his only word. So it doesn't mean just "ball." It has to mean everything else as well, right? He says it and not only does he get one of a variety of spherical toys, he gets everyone in the room participating in an extended, one-word conversation. So he repeats ball over and over and over again. One time out of ten, he really does actually get something close to an "L" at the end. It's more of a "W" really. "Bahwa"

So, all our conversations lately have been like this:

David: "ba"
Jaime: "ball!"
Me: "ball!"
Mom: "ball!"
Alex: "ball!"
D: "ba"
Jaime: "ball!"

I expect the dog to start saying "ball" any minute.
