Jakenese

Jake at his Aunt Brooklin's wedding. Pretty snazzy little fella!
This child of mine... man, if only I could understand what it is he's saying! When he first started this crazy babbling, and by crazy babbling I mean not just the little goo's, ga's, ma-ma's, da-da's, ba-ba's that he started saying months ago, no this is really silly, made-up sounding words... I just thought they were random sounds. But they aren't! They are his words and he uses them! I've compiled a short list of the ones I've been picking up on. These are "words", or speech sounds, that are repeated throughout the day. I've noticed that they are spoken at certain times of the day, or places. So, I'm assuming they might mean things to him. Most the time these "words" are tucked inside of "sentences" of more crazy sounding words. These are just the ones I have been picking up on in the past few days. I'm trying to figure out what they might mean to him.

When the dogs are around he says "duh-WYE". I assume that it's his version of "doggy".
He says, "tuh-kwat" or "tuh-kwad". I have no idea what that one is yet. It's new.
"zig-WAH" or "sig-WAH" that's a new one as of this morning. He's said it over and over.
"sick-UH, sick-UH" no clue what that is.

It is AMAZING to listen to a baby learning to speak. I can't imagine how his mind must be growing daily! It's also crazy how much he understands or what he knows he should not do. Man, they just get more and more fun and smarter... every day!!

He follows commands, points out body parts, he says "shoo" when he dirties his diaper. All these things are language based and it means my baby boy is growing up!

I'm adding a video where he says a version of "tuh-kwad" at the very beginning. At the end he says a form of the "sig-wah". The rest is random stuff that's just cute to listen to.


This last video is just some cute little jibber-jabbering that I love to listen to. :)

Beautiful! If you ever had a child who didn't reach those milestones...and you find a friend who appreciates them like you do when they're baby does...it is sooooo sweeet! You're a great Mom, Ryan Siobhan! I'm so, so proud of who you are! I'm so happy for little guy, that he is living under a roof where someone cares to value his babble... so many highly verbal people wander this planet in search of someone to listen to their jibberish...and never find it. This guy has started his life with it... and it WILL make a difference.
And PS... i ALSO have known the joy of a "typical developing" kiddo... and her sweet babbling was most certainly music to my ears and I was in awe. I celebrate Ryan AND his mommy today!
