She's... communicating?

Big moment of the day:

I was holding Julia and R was tickling her. She would giggle a little every time he did. Then he tickled me, and of course I don't think it's giggle-worthy, so I go, "Ahh ahhh ahhh!" Then R tickled Julia again and she made the EXACT same "Ahh ahhh ahhh!" We did this a couple times so it wasn't a fluke! She's been imitating my "Hi" for a few weeks now but I figured it also sounded like cooing and wasn't very distinctive so it could have just been coincidence.

But she's definitely imitating sounds now. And this is the clearest example she's given us yet. It was really cool and hilarious and adorable all at the same time.

And of course I don't have a video of it or a photo of the babe, so ya'll will have to settle for Scrappy in our backyard, digging a hole to China after a chipmunk.

"I'm an awesome digger! I can get my whole body into this hole!"
