Sophia has been making more and more noise these days, some of it intelligible as in Tricia's previous post, and some of it detailed and imaginative babbling. We're still convinced there's a language in there somewhere, but we are not a party to its grammar, so we sit and simply marvel at its complexity.
Aside from making noise, Sophia is also starting to more obviously understand what we are saying. We know that she has been figuring things out in her head for a while, and she definitely understands "NO!" whether or not she pays any attention to it. She has a new linguistic pastime, though, whereby she is starting to know her body parts. We ask "Where's your belly?" and she'll poke at her belly button (or occasionally her thigh, which is close, so half points for that)
Here are some videos of her showing off her anatomy lesson as well as some babbling and one or two recognizable utterances. The babbling is important to record, says my dad (and I agree) because soon enough she will be into real words and the babbling will be gone forever.
Showing off her knowledge of body parts
Showing off her vocalizations
And just for fun, here's what happens when Sophia gets interested in the camera in Daddy's hands
