Violet's First Word... Hug

Our ten month old granddaughter's first spoken word is hug. She has been saying it for a few days now and we saw her saying it on a video chat too. So cute. She's very good at getting the G sound and is very expressive. She certainly knows what it means too. We've seen her say hug to her mother and then lean in and lay her head on her mother's shoulder.

It's been fun and exciting to see our grandchildren say their first words and their other early words. Then suddenly they start talking. Our grandson Andrew who is about 17 months old has recently become a real chatter box. He is not fully talking yet but you can pick out words among all the very expressive sounds he is making. Especially when he has a book in his hands. He sounds like he is reading. He is going to be talking real soon.

We're looking forward to seeing all of our grandchildren over Thanksgiving weekend. It will be the first time we are all together since we were on vacation this past July in the Adirondacks.
