C is for cat
May 03, 2006
I wasn't sure if any of Mia's words meant anything. I mean she clearly says mamama when she wants something, but does she know it is my name or just that she generally gets to be held or fed?
Today she was eating and one of the cats jumped up into the window sill in front of her. She smiled at it and then said, "Cat". I said, "Yes, that is Barclay the cat." She looked at him again and said, "Cat". We did this a few times and I was surprised at her, but still not sure if it was just an accident. The cats left and she ate a few more bites. Then they came back and she looked at them, smiled at them and said "Cat" again!
When we were done eating, we came into the family room. She looked around, saying cat, cat, cat and I wasn't sure if maybe she was just making sounds afterall, but she seemed to be looking over the couch for them. So I called for them and they came. She lit up and reached toward one and said "Cat" again! Then I asked her, "Where is the cat?" She looked over toward one of them and sort of pointed-- as in lifted her arm up in the general direction -- and said "Cat".
So I can't talk myself out of it this time! I'm certain Mia says "Cat" and knows what it means now!
