Something New Every Day


Baby M "talking" to her daddy.
The sound most associated with daddy is "kkkkkksssstttt"!
Over the past few weeks, Baby M has started coo-ing, vocalising ("aaah!", "eHHHH!!!" and the whole lot) and making sibilant sounds ("psst", "ggrrsssttt", "kkkkkkssstttt") to the Hubby and I on random occasions - waking in the morning, when she was being diapered, in between nursing and just about anywhere when the inclination struck. Most of the times, each vocalisation was a single syllable, and occasionally when she was particularly stimulated and excited, she would articulate double syllables and loud squeals. There was no consistent pattern and some days would see her more muted while other days, she would coo and squeal during play time, and rarely for extended periods.

Today I woke up to a suddenly talkative baby who wouldn't sit still and keep quiet (come one day I might wish this to be the case!). Ensconced in her rocker and keeping me company in the study as I busy myself with emails and other home admin business, Baby M started by kicking along to "This Old Man", and then started a 15 minute long conversation with the toys on the handlebar and her mommy.

Baby M's playmates

Seemingly thrilled with her new found vocals, Baby M spent much of today cooing away!

Happy baby
