Baby talk

Gabriel, who turned 10 weeks old this week, has his own made up vocabulary already. It involves at least 10 or 15 words, half of them said with the use of his tongue. But make no mistake, he is saying sentences. He raises his eyebrows with certain words for emphasis, and says some louder than others. And he uses this Gabrielese to talk to anyone he happens to meet, whether it be in human form, or his bouncy seat animals, or the Snoopy characters on his bumper pad. He loves it when you speak this language back to him, and it almost seems as if he's testing me to make sure I'm getting it all.

Babies are amazing.
