Videos! Pictures!  Even a Few Words!

Sadie holds imaginary conversations, mostly still babbling or using her own language.

One day Valerie sat there and participated with her, and Sadie taught Valerie how to say “blah.” That started Valerie regularly stringing together “blah blah blah” with various inflections, even as she also started using mama.  Prior to that it was pretty much raspberries, squeals, squeaks and screeches, however expressive.

And so it came to pass that we got an extremely funny video in which Valerie performed her blah blahs, then screamed at exactly the right comic time.

Shortly after, we got a followup video, ended by Valerie’s impatience to have a bath.

Hey, how about some pictures while I’m at it!  It’s been a while.  This is like… three weeks worth.  Sheesh.

For instance, here’s one that appropriately came off the camera on Friday the 13th:

And lots more, in a rough sort of chronological order…

Sadie in mid-jump from arm to seat of the recliner:

Valerie being a shower moth, wishing she could be in there too:

Fun with the mirror.  I couldn’t believe how well these came out:

Speaking of reflections, here’s Sadie’s first experience ever with Play-Doh, and the kitchen table proved surprisingly reflective.  Rather cool:

Sadie wound up getting Play-Doh because she got so into the modeling clay-like properties of rope caulk, removing it from where it had been applied in order to play with it, as necessary.

What a pair:

Sadie being goofy in an attempt to pose while enjoying spaghetti:

Valerie captured Sadie’s unfinished apple and made sure less of it went to waste.  It’s amazing how well she can eat something like this with gums and minimal teeth:

Valerie loves her baths:

Every kid likes to play with laundry baskets at some time.  Or at least they make good props:

The Dots were in with the metric ton of Halloween candy I brought home earlier this week, to be prepared for the big night.  Sadie prefers spice drops, which are $1 a bag at Wal-Mart and last for weeks, but the Dots will do:

Finally, a very happy mama’s girl and her mom unit:

  2. She’s so right: when you play that back for her when she’s 15, she will emit almost exactly that scream.
