Tessa said her first German word this week. She said "Hatzi" - which means Achoo. IN Germany, when someone sneezes you say "Hatzi mein Schatzi" (usually reserved for children or people you are close to as "Schatzi" means Sweety). We have always used that term everytime someone sneezes. When Tessa first started smiling, it was a guaranteed smile-getter. As she got older everytime she or someone else sneezed she would always look at you smiling, knowing you were going to say it. It's only fitting that it's her first German word.
She can also say Oma (which is Grandma in German); that's what she calls my mom.
I can't beleive she will be 1 on Monday. It has just gone by so fast.

I was happy to find your post as it is so similar to what happened with my 1+ year old grandson. I was looking up the meaning to explain it to my family. My Oma used to say something similar to hatzi mein Schatzi Boomalotsy. Anyone ever here that?
