We're getting quite distinct "mama" and "dada" now, in addition to "baba", and of course "baboon" and random screeching and raspberries.
She doesn't really know *when* to use them yet, though she can manage some impeccable timing through sheer coincidence. Like when I've taken her off to the bathroom for a wash, and she calls "Dada" to come and rescue her, or when I'm not delivering her weetabix at the desired rate and I get nagged "Mama" to hurry up. And that one time where she broke off in the middle of a feed to announce "boob" at my boob.
Also, I love how babies have conversations between themselves. They really do, they take it in turns to say something, then the other one reacts, and oh it's adorable. I wonder what they're telling each other?
I'm so excited for consonants! So far we have a kind of "hah", which I think is accidental...
