Chatterbox Sillyhead

I've got several posts in the works, but I'm feeling a light-hearted, multimedia vibe right now :)

As I mentioned before, Elle is talking. She's been saying (and in some cases, whispering): Hi, Dada, kee kee (for the kitties), baby, mama (usually just when she's mad, but now sometimes when she sees the mom and baby on a big box of diaper wipe refills), bye (more on this one below), and then other noises that sound like "yay" (when we clap and cheer) and "no" (when I tell the cats "no"). Very, very cute. She also likes to sing the "E-i-e-i-o" part of "Old MacDonald" with us - my mom heard her singing on the phone today, and it was pretty cool :)

But anyway.

I haven't shared many videos of Elle on the blog lately - they've been posted to our Shutterfly site and/or Facebook, but here is one of her whispering "hi" and waving - at herself, but waves nonetheless (apologies for the odd angles and poor camera work):

Here is Elle making silly faces as she knocked her sippy cup over and threw fish on the floor. She started waving "bye" that day, and I truly think that was the first time she said "bye," too:

Here is the world-premier video of Elle being ridiculously silly today - she kept giggling every time I bumped her butt and said "Bump set spike!" It was an infectious kind of belly laughter, and she kept it up for about 10 minutes - what a silly, silly girl :)

Again, never-before-seen footage:
