Dear Lili,
You are almost ten months old! Seems hard to believe.
Yesterday all day long you were making this funny, funny sound over and over again. Rarrr. Rarrr. Rarrr – in a deep throat raspy growl. As a ‘joke’ I asked you yesterday, “What are you a lion, Lili?”
This morning when you woke up I went into your room where you were totally babbling and playing and laughing. When I walked in you stood up and with your little head peeking over the edge of the crib I said,
“Good morning Lili! Hey Lili – what does a lion say?”
You paused. Your eyes got wide and your face got serious. And then you said,
“Rarrr”
I laughed so hard. And continued to ask you about 50 more times only 3 of the times you delivered. Gabby your babysitter said you did the sound most the day making her and all of her friends laugh.
Dad said at least we finally know what you can be for Halloween.
:) I remember when my sister started her different noises. She would have these long grunting/growling conversations with my dad who seemed to illicit them the easiest.
I love the format of your blog. You make me smile! Thank you!
