"Elmo T"

Recording "firsts" of P's has been fairly easy..."baby" was her first word. But how do you count the first sentence? Yesterday, we had our first candidate: "Elmo T." Not sure if it really counts, but it seems like it is a candidate since it connects two ideas: "Elmo" and "TV."

It was immediately obvious to us that P wanted to watch an Elmo DVD on the TV. Of course, we had to test her meaning, so we tried to just give her the Elmo doll she often sleeps with, but she got frustrated at that and went and picked up the Elmo DVD case and pointed to the screen. OK...we get it!
