Hallo

Laina's favorite things to play with are phones and remotes.  She loves pushing the buttons and seeing what happens.  At church she is always trying to steal peoples' iphones.  Her first word was "Hallo" as she held a phone up to her ear. 

 Lately she has been using everything as a phone.  At the amusement park this summer, while we were standing in line for the carousel, she kept watching this kid texting on his phone.  As we got closer to him she started to point and make her little questioning sounds, "uh?".  As he walked by without noticing her she was so sad.  She wanted that phone so badly!  The last week or so I just have to say to her, "Who is it?" and she puts her little hand up to her cheek and says, "Hallo."  She has the cutest little deep baby voice and we love to hear her say it.  Mike thinks she is a genius because she figured out how to unlock his iphone with the sliding arrow.  He laughs every time she does it.
