Chatterbox

Vivi (she who has so far preferred shrieking to speaking) this weekend added six words to her vocabulary - about one every three and a half wakeful hours:

  • flowers (which she used a few times months ago)

  • boot

  • Daddy (versus the former Dadda)

  • bowl

  • Bert (as in Bert and Ernie; she prefers the yellow one)

  • and, critically, bye-bye (she was ridiculously insulted when we noticed she'd nonchalantly said this as she walked away from a toy)

Forecast: Significant blowing and drifting, with the possibility of heavy accumulation in rural areas.
