Starting to babble in sentences

Almost there … although they are not words they are babbling in sentences with all the right intonations and actions that accompany it .. my baby is going to start speaking real soon .. haha

the moment she saw me walk through the door at childcare, she ran towards the door and instead of running to me and asking me to carry her, she stopped short at the door and started babbling and pointing into the room. Literally, “ta ta ta da da bag bag ta ta” complete with all the animated pointing. As though there was something urgent she wanted me to attend to. I tried telling her to wait until I had signed off on the register, but no, Kate could not wait, continued babbling and she started dragging me into the room. Walked across the room and stopped in front of her cubby hole. She wanted to say “Mom, don’t forget to take my bag” not that I have ever fogotten, but being the conscientious darling she is, she wanted to make sure I remembered .. haha

talking about conscientious, she never fails to amaze me. I would have thought that kids her age would see something lying on the floor (i.e., clothes peg), look at it and walk away. Not Kate, she saw it, walked over to pick it up and handed it to me. Well done, sweetie!

Boy does she know what she wants. You can’t leave food at the edge of the table anymore. She sees it, she tells you she wants it. Better not to show her the source, just give it to her in a little bowl and tell her no more when she is done with that portion. If she knows where the source is, she will demand for it. Can’t let her see the milk in the warmer either. If she sees it, she wants it. The other day, she opened up the cupboard (I did not put the child lock on because I was getting something out of it). She opened up the other door and pointed to her tin of formula. Sign languaged me to make milk for her. I had to explain that I was already warming up her cows milk and that she was not having formula that night. haha
