Chatty Girl

If you have been around Laura lately, you would have noticed that she has been a chatty girl. It is quite clear that she is trying really hard to say new words but all that comes out are random sounds. Sure, she can say "mama, daddy, baba, papa, eye, bye, and nigh, nigh" to name a few, but she is trying new words that I have no idea what they are. When I tell her that I have no idea what she is saying, she gives me an evil stare.

We have been practicing saying people's names and she has done a pretty good job repeating them back. When I say "good job" I actually mean "good attempt." Oh yes, today, Laura strung together multiple words. Unfortunately those words were, "Daddy, no, no, no, no." That's what I get when I trapped her underneath a table.

Laura is working on spinning and walking backwards. When a song is playing, she gets that excited face where her eyes get really big and she makes an "ooooohhhhh" sound. Every once in a while she will spin and of course, she will want you to spin with her. As for the walking backward trick, I don't see this often, unless I catch her when she thinks I am not looking. Sneaky!
