Comments on: 15 days and counting http://www.poobou.com/2008/07/14/15-days-and-counting/ The blog of a girl and her family, trying to re-adjust to life in the South after spending the past decade north of the Mason-Dixon line. Hilarity is sure to ensue.

I like your blog too (and Heather's!). I think Maddie is one super-lucky baby to have you guys. Cat: I think you're right about her playing with sounds she likes. And right now, the letter B is where it's at for her. And that's totally fine. Aww, thanks Mike. I like your blog too (and Heather’s!). I think Maddie is one super-lucky baby to have you guys.

Come out of that corner and start packing! :-) The video is SO cute. She's just perpetual motion! The b-b-ball thing, I think, is totally normal, like she's playing with a sound she likes. E-baby has been in this phase lately of repeating the final consonant sounds of all her words. Like "Dog-G," "Yes-SSS," "Cat-T," "Chase-SSS", "Sheep-P" and so on. It's just fun to make those sounds. I also think the babies are trying to make sure they have the sounds just right. I also like Mike's theory that she's tuned into something bigger. Like the Platonic ideal of the pronunciation of the word Ball is Ba-Ball. Groovy. Hey! Come out of that corner and start packing! :-)

A few things: 1) I've been reading your blog a couple months and must say you strike me as a good Mom. 2) Moving is awful. God bless you. 3) The fact that your kid says a lot of "b"s may be a good thing. I really think sometimes babies/lil kids are tuned into something bigger and we beat it out of them. Or not. But I will definetely observe Maddie to distraction. So cute….

I love the look on her face when she's looking/listening to the car. It's like you can see her learning and figuring things out. There just is nothing cuter than the way a little kid walks.
