Babble

I hear a lot of funny things from Maeve.  Just since yesterday, she seems to be "talking" pretty much nonstop.  I'm kind of at a loss as to what any of it means, but I have a few guesses.

I know her duck is "Da da da", I'm "Mamama" and Dad is "Da" or "Dada".  She occasionally says something like "ba" for bottle/sippy cup, but the rest is all pretty hard to make out, no matter how insistent she is.  She says something like "na-da" generally when she's unhappy or doesn't want something, and today I thought she said "da" for her dolly.  I think a lot of words for her seem to boil down to "da" in some form.  She also does a pretty fair imitation of her rubber ducky squeaking, which is hilarious - the video below doesn't do it justice!

Most of the time I just nod and agree, or repeat her noises back to her.  This is a very fun step on the path to language, and I love hearing her very animated babbling - although she's no Steve Carell.  She's just my goofy girl, and I'm hanging on her every... well, sort of word.
