Bathtime and Talking

Lotta' posts today. This is the third one in the past 7 hours so don't forget to scroll down.

Margaret's development continues to astound us. Or, at least keep her self congratulatory parents full of pride at something we have absolutely no control over.

The past couple of days have seen her "vocabulary" grow by leaps and bounds and she continues to get more and more verbal so that we feel like we're having real conversations with her.

Who knows how much real communicating she's actually intentionally initiating but it sounds good to us! I have to catch myself, sometimes and remind myself that, no, she's not really talking and that she's just babbling so that she can eventually learn to talk.

But with a wife as linguistically talented as SAM is, it's hard not to think that maybe, just maybe Margaret is a genius!

Video below.



Also, I took some photos before, during and after Margaret's bath today.

She had her bath at around 5:30 pm and the late afternoon sunlight was just streaming into the bedroom so I couldn't resist.

She's going to hate me for these when she's 13, but I don't care.

Oh my gosh, Margaret is the most precious baby ever! Listening to her talk, you can tell that she is definitely going to be able to say Mama, as it already sounds like she's babbling it! I think Dada is even easier for babies to say, so I'm sure that's well on its way!

The rug looks great in your living room! It looks just like my memory of the one we had in the front hall growing up- same colorations and designs (as my memory). It will definitely be a memory creator for Margaret!

We are addicted to you posts so thank you for being so dedicated with them! We were beside ourselves with lostness during the week you were without internet. I'm so happy you're back!

Thank you for the lovely lecture, Margaret. You tell them that the bath was just right, and that momma needs to eat some more garlic because you like it so much! And another real rug... having just acquired one too, well, I know how you feel. After we got over the initial wallet shock, we love just sitting on it and looking at it. Hugs all around.
