First Word!!

No pictures because this is an auditory post.  Noelle said her first word!!  All four of us were at the park and when Chris suddenly came into view Noelle shouted, "DADA!!!", and smiled the biggest smile in the world.  She has been saying dada, and mama, and baba, and all those other baby words for awhile but this was the first time she clearly associated something with what she was saying.  After she said it, I made a big fuss, and Chris looked up at me with tears in his eyes...he was clearly elated not only that 'Dada' was her first word, but that there was a witness to let him know he wasn't imagining things. 
Oh, sweet Ellie Bug, we know you have so much to say.  And Delilah is INTENT on making sure your next word is her name.  :)
