the first " I love you"!
Well, it sounded like "yuh yoo", but that's what she meant! We were in the rocking chair doing our bedtime routine.
What a great feeling!

Ahh....that's the best, isn't it?!!
I remember the first time DD said it completely on her own and not just in response to me saying "I love you" to her. It will forever be etched in my mind. I don't think DS has said it yet, but with his speech delay, it's going to be extra sweet when he finally does.
