Streaking and Speaking Commentary

Yesterday afternoon I was talking to Brian on the phone from work and overheard this exchange that's a funny and fabulous commentary on current home life.
Brian: You're naked.
Sophie: I'm naked!
Brian: Why are you naked?
Sophie: Because I took my clothes off!

Well, obviously. About half of what Sophie says is still unintelligible, but I love these glimpses into the kind of communication that's to come.

"I found him!"

Sophie was looking for a toy hippo that she had just been playing with. I was helping her look and I said, "Hippo?"

Then, she said, "Hippo, where are you?" a couple of times while she was looking. Then she saw it & said, "I found him! I found him!"

This sounds like a simple exchange, but I was very excited to hear it. It's a huge leap from a month or two ago, when she might have said 1 word, 'help' or 'hippo' or even 'I want hippo'.

I've noticed a lot of subtle things like this in the past month & keep thinking I need to document them.
