So I was sitting at the computer this morning, and I look down and Mirah is standing at my side. She is pointing at the screen. Tels-Tee. Huh, I realize that a picture of my little sis Chelsea is still up in a browser behind the window that I am looking at. She misses Chelsea, and now she can say Chelsea, and still won’t say mom. Yes, I am jealous. I just want to say that this is all completely unprompted, she just started doing this. So I picked her up and sat her on the table next to me.
She was really saying Chelsea! It was nuts. I got kind of a good one in this video. I missed the really clear times she said it.
But she kisses her, and that is so super cute.
Also mom, we weighed her today, 19+ pounds. Not too shabby, just a few more weeks and we get her to 20 pounds!
To be fair, I think my kids said "Karl" and "Allie" before they ever said "Mom". Mirah is so cute! I'm going to teach her to say "Betsy" next 🙂
Also, Malia and Betsy were 18 lbs at 13 months. Maybe this is just the way Hites cook em.
Mom Hite
Your own mom, Wendy, weighed just 18 pounds at one year.
