Eva's "brim" Moment!

The "Hat"

Today after I got Eva up from her nap to get ready for PT, we were sitting on the floor in front of the couch.  I had just got the yard cut and cleaned up so I was of course wearing a hat.  Eva was sitting next to me babbling something and "reading" a book.  She then grabbed a hold of my shoulder and hoisted herself to the standing position. She reached for the brim of my hat and said "hat".  I look at her with the ear-to-ear smile and motioned the sign hat (patting my head) at the same time repeating her  "hat".  She took it off of my head and placed it on hers and said "hat" again.  I was so excited!  I think that officially this is her first word.  Ahhh - a joyous moment.  Hat. I now know this it will only continue to get better.  I love seeing such moments like these when children or babies learn something and makes them feel so proud that their lightbulb has finally turned on.  Hat.  I wonder what will be next.  Hat, hat, HAT!
