Lola talks. Sort of.

Lola is progressing past the basic cry and scream to include more sounds in her repertoire. She now has mastered the short A (thereby making her first word aa, a type of lava), and has added some consonants to the mix: r, m, g, l. When she gets really upset, she repeatedly and pathetically cries out something that sounds like ma-ma-ma-ma-ma. It makes me upset too. But she also happily jabbers to herself and frequently squeals and giggles and laughs. We're happy she can express herself more, and we're eagerly awaiting real words.
