Bapba?

Today I went into the kitchen and started working on dinner. I heard some rustling behind me and when I turned around, Gemma had climbed into her highchair. She was wearing her beloved winter jacket (what a difference! At this age I had to pin William down to get a jacket on him). This climbing into the high chair is a terribly unsafe habit of hers that I cannot figure out how to easily remedy.

Gemma: mama! (I really should get video of this sometime. She is quite demanding and impossible to ignore.)

Mama: what, Gemma?

Gemma: (points at empty tray)



This made me laugh out loud, so I got out my phone to take a picture of Ms Demanding. The MINUTE she saw my phone, she got very excited. We frequently talk to my parents on my phone and use the FaceTime video chat (on my phone) to video chat with them. Gemma adores these conversations. She loves them so much, every time I pull out my phone, she either demands to call Bapba or see Baby (look at pictures of herself on my phone. Which usually ends with me having a heart attack when Gemma some how manages to find a way to "delete all" my pictures.

This time is no different.

For interpretation, I repeat all of Gemma's "known" words after she says them. Almost everything else she says is a complete mystery to me.
