Roxi is a long way from talking - in a language that we understand, anyway. However, her repertoire of sounds is expanding all the time. Lately she has started repeating syllables, such as ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. She even said da-da-da a couple mornings ago. Wish Rob had been around to hear it because I haven't gotten a repeat performance since.
The best part of the learning process is watching/listening to her perfect a new sound. Last week it was coughing. We were a little concerned that she had a cold she was coughing so much. But nope, she was just teaching herself how to make that particular noise. This week, it's heavy breathing. Roxi kind of pants like a dog (without the lolling tongue) and then gives us this big smile, as if to say, "Check it out! That came from me!"
