Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba

Two weeks ago was Mae's six month checkup. At which time, Dr. Sheridan [pediatrician] asked us, "so you have probably been hearing a bunch of consonants sounds, 'ga, ba, da,' and lots of babble?" Pearson and I looked at each other. We have been hearing babble but not consonants sounds. Oh no, two people who love the gift of gab have a daughter that hasn't hit the "developmental timeline for speech." Many questions arose in my mind, 'Was I talking to her enough?' 'Was I reading enough to her?' 'Were we not letting her get a word in edge wise?'

No fear. Without fail our daughter started talking a week later and has been on a role. She has really only mastered the ba, ba, ba sound for now but I am sure her dad is practicing the da, da, da sound with her.

Here is a little video of her. She is also becoming quite a mover.
