Listening to Della talk is like watching the clouds and trying to see shapes. This morning I thought I heard her say, “I was good today!” And Steve made out a kind of song: “I’m on my way to ziggy ziggy,/ I’m on my way, woo hoo!” 

Just to keep track, here are a few of her favorite words so far: ooos, derkel, ziggy, zuhkah, whasis, da, momomomomom, haaeee. Also so far: we are learning more babytalk than she is learning English. And now, a picture of Della wearing a Valentine’s headband.
