weaning

This weekend we began the weaning of Madeleine. This weekend Madeleine demonstrated that she can talk.

We had the following:

• when I walk into the room Madeleine looks at me and says “mama!”
• when Madeleine is particularly enamoured of Maja she says “yaya!”
• when Richard walks into the room Madeleine says “dada!”
• when the bottle appears she says “baba!”
• when the bottle appears and she KNOWS I’m in the house she says “baba! mama!” and then smacks the bottle away

Ahhhh, that’s my little girl! Any guesses as to how long before she learns the word “no!!”?
Madeleine has also started to clap. Alot. Everything these days deserves a clap — and she is particularly delighted when we join her and say Yay Madeleine! at the same time.
