Paige is a very verbal gal, and has been babbling for months. In the last couple of months she has started imitating vocal inflections. Then, last weekend she started doing something very cool. We were in the back seat on the way back from our friends' house in Truckee and Paige was babbling her usual "blah blah blah, ba ba ba." I started making the sounds she was making, but changing them slightly to bebe (baby) and bibi (bye bye). Paige imitated the sounds I made. Yesterday and today when I waived and said bye bye, she waived and said bye bye too. Then, this afternoon when I went in to pick her up after her nap, I said hi and she said hi right back. It was amazing. I realize these probably don't count as actual words, just like when she calls out Mamama and night, she's not really calling to me; but this is close. She understands that "hi" and "bye bye" go with waiving because she waives when she says them. I am positive she does not realize that hi is a greeting and bye bye is what you say when you or someone else leaves. This is a video of Paige chilling on her potty and waiving bye bye.
The other very silly thing Paige has started to do is "smile" for the camera. I put smile in quotes because the face she makes is hilarious. She squints her eyes (in anticipation of the flash) and gives a giant toothless smile. She LOVES the camera.
