Knows

It's still very exciting that Lyla is so big.

But she knows other things, too. For instance, she knows that an owl says "Hmmm! Hmmm!" You think an owl says "Who," but you have a history of being wrong. Lyla says that an owl says "Hmmm!" and she's never wrong. Also, she knows that a sheep says "Bah. Bah." Lyla understands that owls (Hmmm!) are enthusiastic, while sheep (Bah) are nonchalant.

Lyla also knows that a car makes exactly the same noise as a mouth buzzing. She doesn't know what a car is, per se, but ask her what one says, and she'll tell you.

And that's about it for now. But we're approaching a tipping point, I can feel it. Pretty soon, any day now, probably tomorrow, she'll see me and say "Dada."
