Dadadadada

Louisa is practicing her "dada" sounds. We took a number of videos in which--surprisingly--Louisa was camera shy. She'd stop speaking on cue, then resume when the video turned off.

Finally, we got a decent take:

She was even better after her evening bath:

Tonight, KJ finished putting Louisa down, but Louisa continued to cry for a long time. It's like we're starting the Ferber method all over again. It's probably not an ear infection (we took her to the doctor's a few days ago to check on that). It could be teething, but that's been a "crying wolf" situation for several months now, so it's hard to believe that she's teething. I think she just wants to practice saying, "Dada! Dada!"

Shhh, Louisa. There will be plenty of time tomorrow...
