Around three days ago, it was like a switch flipped in Sadie and she started vocalizing. It started with her discovery of the shriek/squeal, which I mentioned a few entries ago. She was apparently very proud of her newfound ability to make a sound other than crying, because she has since begun a torrent of baby talk that doesn't stop.
"Talk" is probably not the right word -- it's more a long sequences of "aaaaaahs" and "ow-wooooahs," but the interesting thing is that she does it in a way that mimics adult speech. She only "talks" when she's looking at you, and is much more likely to make her noises when you're responding to them -- making the conversation two-sided, as it were, rather than a random string of vocalizations that she's making just because she can.
You've got a babbler there, all right -- not surprising, given her lineage.
ReplyDeleteNow you have the excitement of guessing what her first REAL word will be. Don't be disappointed if it's not "Mama" or "Dada". Yours wasn't! :) :)
