Shuh Buh

Reagan has started to do something pretty funny that we just figured out. Reagan has never been one to repeat much of anything, she will talk when she is ready and wanting to. I always try to get her to repeat things, but she just is not really into it. Recently, I will ask her to repeat something, and sometimes she will repeat what I say, and other times, she says something that is SO FAR OFF from what I said that I started to get scared that she was not hearing well. The other night, Jeremy and I figured out that if she knows the word that you are asking her to repeat, she will say it, clear as day, but if she does not know the word that you want her to repeat, she will say "shuh buh." No clue what it means, but its consistent each time I try to get her to say something new.

Here is our conversation:
