first word associated with something real

Tonight, I was getting Carli ready for bed and I asked her if she wanted her "bah bah." She apparently thought I was saying "bye bye" because all of the sudden, she started waving her hand backwards, saying, "bye bye!" It was so cute! She says "da da, ma ma, ba ba" etc... but I don't know if she really knows what she is saying. This time she really knew! These are the moments to remember... our last baby learning to talk. It's so bittersweet. Carli is growing up too fast. I'll never have another little baby and it's hard to believe that she is already 1 year old and quickly growing up. She's in a super fun stage, so quick to smile and laugh.
