She runs around like this a lot of the time clucking and babbling. The only other thing that she is likely to be doing while she is awake is eating. It seems strange to me that she doesn't have a lot of words yet but I think it's mostly our own fault. We are all waiting on the edge of our seats just like she is already ready to cluck to give her her hearts desire. Her hearts desire continues to be called "Nan". However, she does differentiate somewhat between her Nans a little by pointing and sometimes accentuating different parts of the word. Nana is what she calls all the main females in her life. Kathie, Jen and myself are the main Nanas but really anyone that pleases her at the moment (boy or girl) may be referred to as Nana. Na-na is only one thing and that is a banana. Banana is her go to food and it may be the reason for her multi-use Nan word. Then finally we have nan. Nan means water, toy, food, remote control, milk, chocolate, cheese, book, whatever. Where we are all implicit with Cybele's lack of learning words is that when she says nan we all jump. we offer her anything and everything. She really has figured out a new word and it means I want and I want you to figure it out without me saying anything else. She really is quite clever and sometimes she proves to me that she knows more than she lets on by nodding when we finally guess the right thing. What a spectacular game we play.
