Talking update

So we are getting there with this learning to talk business. Bluet definitely quite often says 'thank you' at appropriate moments. She can also say 'baby', 'doggy', 'daddy' and 'mama', although we don't hear those do often as she mastered them a while ago and therefore they don't need practise. She can also say banana, particularly at breakfast time, and 'nose' one time - she even can identify both her and our noses about 50% of the times we ask, so it depends on whether she can be bothered or not. And often her pointing finger points too enthusiastically and ends up up ones nose. Also, if you ask her where her belly is, she lifts up her shirt and puts her finger in her belly button. A video of this will surely soon follow.

She also does this thing where she takes her toy plastic mobile phone (a v. generous Christmas gift from Angela's parent) and puts it to the back of her head, then runs around the apartment talking into it. I tried to record the sounds, but it is difficult as she gets distracted by my recording equipment*; this is the best I could do:
