Updates on speech

My daughter actually talked to me last night. Though short, the conversation touched me and warms my heart through and through. I asked her to go upstairs to drink her milk and to sleep. I followed behind her as she climbed up the stairs. She was whining, but I am not sure what she wanted. I had thought she is tired and wanted to sleep. I was only half correct. When she got to our bedroom, she plunked herself onto my pillow. I asked her to get back to her own mattress (which is just beside mine), but she started crying. Knowing that she is tired, I did not want to push her. I lay beside her (sandwiched between her and my son), and hummed softly, while tapping her thighs. She cried 'Yao a' (want), and I asked her, what does she want. She replied 'Bao bao'. (hug). In less than a minute after I hugged her tightly, she is sound asleep. : )
