Bubble

Her first word.

Last night, I was reading Clifford Counts Bubbles to Caroline when she said her first real word, aside from a loosely-applied "Dada" and a mumbly "Mama" directed at no one in particular.

The book, as you may have astutely gathered from the title, repeats the word "bubble" approximately 43,002 times.  On the second to the last page I thought I heard her say it.  So I repeated it.  She said it again.  And three more times before I decided to let her go to sleep.

I just can't get over how fast this all goes.
