New sounds!
April 7th, 2008
After what seems like an eternity of da-da, dye-dye, ya-ya, ha-gi etc, Talia has been experimenting with some new sounds this past week.
New sound #1: ssssssth (a bit like having a lisp). Talia came up with this sound last week and I spent a bit of time trying to get her to say ‘yes’ - she can almost manage “eeyeth”. It would be impressive to have a baby who says yes before she says no.
New sound #2: nan-nan/nun-nun. I was very excited when I heard this yesterday morning, and I imagine her nana will be too when she gets back from the UK and hears it for herself.
New sound #3: mummum. This happened late in the afternoon yesterday. She actually said “da-da-da-mum-mum-mum’ but I was so surprised to hear it so soon after the excitement of nan-nan that I wouldn’t have quite believed it if we didn’t happen to be out with a friend, who was able to confirm that she really did say mum-mum-mum.
WOO-HOO!!! Once again I am feeling ridiculously proud of my clever little daughter.
