Sammy Notes

I've mentioned this book Josh loves, called Hug. Here is a sound file of Josh practicing "hug".

We debate whether this is his first word, which is appears to be, since we think he understands what it means. (Susan, do you agree?)

He's understanding a lot of what we say now. Last night I asked him, "What does a lion say?" and he responded with a wonderful little roar. He also knows what snakes say, and his hiss is a quiet, meek little thing.
