i must say, i need to get a grip when it comes to showing off my tongue. i seem to be sticking it out all the time these days. i tend to do it when i am really relaxed. we had spent the afternoon on aunt chloe and uncle peter's deck just rolling around on the blanket. it was nice and relaxin'.

[enter mom] our daycare was asking if one of us sticks our tongue out as a habit and we both laughed. she picked this on up all on her own.

in other news....olivia can get herself out of the bumbo now. yes, that's right. at daycare, they put her in it and within minutes she had crawled out. we're are not so wild about this since we loved the fact that we could put her in it and let her hang for a while. she is also doing this thing where she crawls backwards on her back. she moved herself up the bed last night. if only she could figure it out when she is on her belly.

and the other morning she said "da da." she didn't know what it meant, but she said it. it was different from the other times when she does a string of sounds together...like "la la la la or ba ba ba ba." this time she looked at me and said da da. obviously she was confused and just making sounds, but it was cool to hear something somewhat intelligible come out of her mouth. the fact that i consider da da intelligible is a different issue altogether.
