Dada, Dadee, Dada, dada, Dadeee da da

So we talk, and now its just a matter of time before we crawling.

Allyson is changing so fast. There are moments of time where I wish I could stop all time from passing by. Today was a long day. I arrived at daycare to pick Ally up and ended up having an unexpected conversation with our daycare lady about what Allyson has been doing. I say unexpected as I had asked to not be told about any milestones that may occur while in her care. Needless to say I found out today that she had said dada, and dadee for well over an hour today. I wanted to cry. Not because mama wasn't her first word but because I wasn't there to hear it for the first time. A few minutes later we were in the Jeep to head home. As I was putting Allyson in her car seat and having this talk about talking with her the phone rings and its Michael. Allyson looks up at me, smiles and says dada...dada, while I am trying to find my phone and answer it. Michael's phone totally cut out and I have no idea what he said. Then the jeep would not start so we waited for a fellow church friend to come and jump the jeep after nearly an hour and a half and the jeep started. On the drive back to the house all I could hear Allyson talking up a storm saying Dada along with a few other noisy sounds.

As I was trying to put an overtired baby to bed, she would scream dada, dada and start crying. This went on for roughly 15 minutes. It was the worst heart wrenching sound I have ever heard from my child. I don't know if she can put the name with the face yet or not but there is no doubt that she has been missing her special time with Daddy. Needless to say tomorrow will be a hard day to have her in daycare all day long.
