The first wave and the first words

Alicia learnt how to wave bye-bye and showed it off for the first time on 4 May 09. She also learnt to say “bye” while waving and could wave on demand. πŸ˜€

I believe “bye” is the third word she said, the first being “ma”! She said her first “ma” at 4mths and subsequently when she was 7mths, she said “mummy” four times though it was definitely non-specific. πŸ™‚ It wasn’t a one-off calling of “mummy” so I’m sure she said it!
Words spoken (by 10mths):
1) ma
2) mummy
3) bye

The pincer grasp and the first self-feeding

Alicia mastered the pincer grasp and self-fed for the first time on 27 April 09.

I remember she picked up the Gerber star and put it into her mouth and was so pleased with herself. Hehehe. But I think I was happier than she was! πŸ˜€ I recall she was trying to pick up the star for a few days before that and didn’t succeed. I thought it’d take a long while more before she could pick it up and self-feed but she was faster than I expected. πŸ˜€
