Cooper is starting to talk!! Actually talk, as opposed to chattering away with noises we don't understand.
For a little while, he has been making a few noises that we thought were actually words, like 'happy'. Sounds more like 'abby, abby, abby' and he frequently said it in situations like when he saw a little friend and went to give him or her a big bear hug.
Then he started saying 'ub, dow' in time with his up and down squats, and I was sure he was actually talking. Now he seems to be actually attempting to repeat some sounds after us! And if he sees a cat (picture or real life), he points and exclaims 'aow' (miaow). Wohoo!! So exciting!
He is getting to be such a big boy. Had a family gathering on the weekend, and he was walking around after his cousins with great enthusiasm. He is actually looking like 'one of the kids' rather than a baby. Some days I find this SO exciting. Other days it makes me want to cry... I blame the pregnancy hormones!
Ooo, how exciting! It's fun when they start making sense of language and making their own way toward using it. I love how they say things when they are learning too. It's so cute.
