Nu! Nu! Nu!

Yesterday Maria called me at the lab to give me the news... Anabelle had learned a new word. It was immediately apparent what she was trying to say when she would shake her head violently and say "Nu! Nu! Nu! Nu! Nu! Nu!" when Maria would try to feed her, keep her from getting into things, etc... It reminds me of Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail when Sir Bedevere is unable to say "Ni" correctly and instead says "Nu!"... however, even though Anabanana can't quite say the word yet, it already has the effect on us that saying "Ni" seems to have on people in the movie.
We realized today that she is, however, able to say "no"; this is always followed by her jabbing at her nose, though...
As soon as be can get a short clip of her saying it, we'll post it.
