the name game

greta has been really into learning and repeating people's names lately. she loves to "call" people on the phone using their names, and will recount stories of things that happened using names and letting us fill in the blanks. these videos are from a few weeks ago, but 'emily' is still her new favorite word. she learned it from seeing a picture on our fridge, and has committed it to memory. so much so in fact that when our neighbor emily stopped and said hi (different emily than in the picture), i said her name one time and now greta says, "emily" everytime we go past their house. i don't normally quiz greta like i am doing in the video, but i wanted to see if i could get her saying people's names on camera. i love the way she says stacy's name as a long "ssss" sound and the way that the first syllable of gavin's name has such huge emphasis.

she loves to watch videos of herself on the camera, so in the first video she is asking to see more of herself on the camera.
