Vocalizations

A quick disclaimer: we don't use software to track our readers. I don't know how many people visit or how frequently. I know my mom visits frequently the old-fashioned way - because she tells me so. So there is no need to log in to your international ip-address scrubbing proxy server before coming to the site for amateur videos of Camy and Macy.

Speaking of which, here is an amateur video I enjoy. The girls are becoming vocal. In addition to the usual babblings, some of their sounds are starting to sound like they are intended to convey meaning. My favorite part in this video (even though it is portrait oriented, sorry; you can turn your head, turn your monitor, or pretend it is an M. C. Escher Relativity painting), is at 0:07, where Camy realizes she dropped her pen by saying, "Oh!" Then Macy comes in with some pretty typical Macy chatter.

[technical difficulties loading this video, will try later]

This next vocalization has less contextual meaning, but seemed pretty intentional. At 0:08, Macy says, "bop!" Don't know why I get such a kick out of it, but she felt like she needed to stop and say something. Meanwhile, Camy is inspecting a LittlePeople goat with her pen. We have "Macy pens" around the house - pens with the ink cartridge removed. Camy apparently found one. The girls have also been seeing how things react to being prodded by different things: pens, spoons, bottles, etc.

Vegetables: cauliflower, broccoli, carrots. Vitamins: check

A very creative use of the bouncy chair, Macy. It seems like a companionable morning between friends, each involved, speaking and responding on occasion, content to be together. Good job on the healthy stuff... don't tell me if you followed that with a red licorice chaser.
