81. Two!

The week of Bea's birthday was full of parties. Some of them were in honor of Beatrice and some of them were neighborhood parties, but they all meant the same thing to Bea: "Happy Bir-day to you, BeaBea!"

In the above clip, Bea is playing one of her new favorite games, "Are you a mama?". She will point to people (including herself) and things and ask either, "Are you a mama?" or, "Are you a baby?". In response, I will answer on behalf of myself, the couch, the cats, whatever, with, "Yes, I'm a mama," or, "No, I'm a coffee mug," etc...
