New babbles

Madeleine really seems to be talking lately; aside from "ball" and "uh-oh" it appears she's saying "Dada" and possibly even "bye-bye." However, her favorite expression of late is, hopefully, just a babble that feels good in her mouth, and not something she picked up from either of her parents. Beyond all the other things she is saying, both English and baby gibberish, she repeatedly utters something that sounds alarmingly like "shit." It's more of a very wet "s" sound than an "sh", followed by "eeeit." For whatever reason, she LOVES saying it for just about everything. Holding up some new treasure she discovered on the floor: "Sssssheeeeit." Crawling along towards some coveted object: "Ssssssheeeeeit." Responding to us as we coo at her: "Ssssssheeeeit." She especially loves saying it over and over again from her car seat when we go on long drives. I'm sure she's just enjoying this new s-blend she's able to do, and wants to continue recreating the sound and sensation, but Ethan and I will definitely be happy when she has moved on to some other vocalization. (That is, provided it doesn't mimic any other, more offensive words!)
