First Word?!?

Edy yesterday said baa-bie while pointing at a yogurt container with a picture of a baby on it. She semi-consistently does it with books with pictures of babies, so we are sure she knows what it means.

Just like with walking, I'm not sure how clear it has to be to call it a word, but it is definitely two separate sounds with an associated meaning, so it sounds like speech to me.

I also forgot to mention she signs hot and cold, and she can almost say ball. Of course, the "l's" don't quite make it on the end there, but we're making progress.
