Larkin's all about pointing to pictures of Scot and announcing proudly, "Dad!" This is one of her favorite new skills. She points to everyone in pictures and in person: boys, girls, mom, Jesus, grandparents, strangers, and labels them with a very satisfied, "Dad!" I try to praise her when she gets it right and give a new label for all the other people in her life even though I know she'll get it in time.
... so I'm standing in the kitchen holding Larkin while I put together a snack for her when she points to the fridge and says, "je-huh". I turn to see what she wants me to include on her plate and see that she is pointing to our fridge magnet with a picture of Jesus. I literally squealed with excitement! I could not believe my ears. Did my daughter just point to Jesus and say His name? For real!?! I tried and tried to get her to say it again, but I think my freak-out freaked her out. Then at church she walks over to a very large painting of the Savior hanging in one of the halls and points straight up at it. I picked her up and asked, "who is that Larkin?" Her reply ... "Je-dad!"
That is SO Cool!!! I remember the first time Isaac recognized a picture of Christ and said his name. I do believe i freaked out as well!! YAY!!!!
