Maeve has been trying to speak and is doing a lot of baby babble – probably trying to generate sequences of sounds that she hears from adults around her. She has mastered “Mama” and “Papa” and “dada”, Last week some of this babble started to make some sense and gel with what Maeve was feeling inside. Maeves first meaningful comment came as a result of her teething which must be painful. Maeve said “teeth oww” – and we got the bongella out.

Today she managed “bye bye” and waving her arms as Bernie carried her out to the car.
