they are but words

i know you aren't supposed to compare your children's development - every human is different, there is no target time table for when they should do x or y, etc.. BUT really, of course I do, it's only natural. but not in a mean way that would scar sammy for life like "why did she walk 2 months later than stella, is something wrong with her!?".. more in the 'all i know is what i learned from my first gig as a parent and how does this compare' kind of way. like... stella is verbally advanced, i know that, and she was talking up a storm very early on... sammy on the other hand just says "mah, mah, mah, mah" for EVERYTHING! seriously. she wants some milk? she says "mah, mah".. she wants to hold the little doll? she says "mah, mah". she wants you to pick her up? she says "mah, mah", you get the picture.

i know shes clever and developing normally, but i really can't wait to hear her little voice and have her join into the ridiculous conversations (and songs) that stella and i have each day to/from school. of course, you'll read this blog a year from now (i hope!) and i'll be whining about how she's growing too fast and I want her to be little again!

anyway - i feel a bit less guilty about this cuz stella has now started saying, "mommy, we sure are ready for sammy to say words with us, aren't we!?".. so i must be onto something if my little 2.8 year old has come to the same conclusion!
