Hi guys, wondering if I could join this thread. My bubba was born 31 October 2006. She is beginning to walk independently and says "bye-bye" and waves and blows kisses. She says "hi", "dat" (for that) and points, "yum-yums" and some other stuff that might or might not be words. She also carries on 'conversations' with people and toys. So very cute at this age!
