"I Good"

For the past couple of weeks, the grandparents have been telling Waverly to say "I Good!". This was a little confusing to me, as I know that Waverly not only can't talk, but this is such an odd choice of words for a baby. Still, both Mamaw Jean and Mamaw Gail have been earnestly telling Waverly, "C'mon, say I Good!".

Well, a few days ago it became clear to me why the grandma's have been persistent in telling our little one to say "I Good!". She was goo-ing and coo-ing and out came "I Good!" Of course, she is really saying "Ah-Goo" but it does sound like she is saying "I Good!". Waverly is really making a lot of different sounds now (sometimes just downright noise!), including most of the vowel sounds. She can say "Hi", which is really just the "I" sound, and sometimes "You", or the "U" sound.

Of course, now everyone is pouring on the flattery to Waverly by repeating her favorite words in hopes that she will tell us "I Good!" or "Hi". I wish I could bottle her sweet sounds to sell; I'd be a millionaire.
