...And in much cuter news:

I think Tres has an official First Word! I could be wrong; she may only say it over and over and over because the sound gets a consistent response, and not because she knows what it means, but oh well.

So, are you ready for it? Tres's first word appears to be [drum roll, please]...

"Hi!"

She says it to everyone. Repeatedly. With a big friendly smile on, so it must be her intention to say hello, right?

Sure.

I once guessed that, if they had to choose a profession right then and there in baby / toddlerhood, Uno would grow up to be a politician (that would still suit her) and Dos would become a podiatrist (eh, her love of stethoscopes and shoes has waned). Playing the same game for Tres, I'd say she's destined to be a late night talk show host. She is, as I said, super friendly -- and she gets chattier the later it gets. It's nearly midnight now and, aside from a break here and there to chew on USB cords, she's babblier than a brook in springtime.

What a sweet baby, that girl.
