language development

Also, that same day Lina spontaneously (& happily) said, "Nummy!" for the first time while eating vegetable baby food!

Hello, Lina!

Evangelina's language development has really been blossoming lately!  Two Sundays ago while we were out at Kang Kang in Temple City of all places, she said her own name for the first time (beyond saying 'me'!), referring to herself repeatedly as "Lina" with a smile.  I guess with all the possible nicknames for her (my preferred one was "Eva" said with Spanish pronunciation), we're going to have to go with the one she's chosen for herself!
