Kateli's first two words TOGETHER!

I know, a mother takes joy in the smallest feat--but our daughter has for the first time put two words together!! Kateli gives all of us good night smooches each night as she heads off to do "nigh nigh" as she calls it. The other night was no different. She gave grandma a smooch, mommy a smooch, and baby Joshua. As I was walking up the steps with her to do bath time she looked towards Joshua, waved her little hand "bye bye" and said "bye baby" so clearly!! There was no pause between the words, it was her first little phrase, if I could call it that. My first reaction was just to tell her "you are a good loving big sister", and then it hit me!! It was more than that, not to belittle that she IS a wonderful big sister, but this was one of those milestones that you celebrate with so much excitement. She had spoken her first phrase, as short as it was but she got them out without a blink of an eye!! I was SO excited!! Daddy has been out of town and just got back last night, but I didn't forget to share my excitement for the night, I would say it was the highlight of my evening--even day! It's only a matter of weeks, maybe, before she starts speaking--well, who knows...we'll see. I'll keep you posted. She said her first phrase "bye baby" on Wed Aug 3.
