Straws and Sounds

Zoey has begun to use a straw to drink sometimes. She is very good at it already! She also has a whole host of new sounds. In fact, the sounds are starting to sound more and more like they have speech tones and inflection. She is definitely talking a lot, just in her own language still. There is the occasional "mama" and "dada", but we are still unsure if she is actually using those sounds as the real words. I think she has a couple of times (like looking right at Abbie and saying "mama"). She also can sometimes point to the lights if you ask her where they are.
