01/31/2002 Entry: "Babbling"

Overnight, my child has "learned" to babble. Yesterday morning, I was whining to Mom about how Sam didn't go "Ba-ba-ba" or "Da-da-da" like other babies. "You kids never did, either," she said, "and I was looking forward to that."

Then we went out for lunch and Sam got a balloon. We played with it all afternoon, and by evening he was struggling mightily, it seemed, to say "balloon." "Ba-bla-blab! Bla-bab!" It cracked me up. Now he's been doing it all today, even though the balloon itself is now deceased. Everything is "Bla-bla-bab!" or some variation thereof.

Eek! No! No babies around here but Sammy for a while, thanks! ;-)

Stephanie learned the 'b' sound by herself, and it quickly became her favourite. She answers other things with Babababab sometimes, just because, I think, that she knows it vexes me!

Are you and Eric trying for another baby?
Good luck!

I won't even go where my mind wants to take me regarding the nausea! I will just pray it isn't the flu ;-)

I don't know why I'm sick to my stomach. It just rolled over me a bit ago. This had better not be the flu...

You're really lucky. Sean didn't start doing that until WAY late: 18 months. He wound up having a summer of speech therapy to catch up with the other kids.
By the way Carrie, why are you nauseous? Too many pumpkin cookies, perhaps?
:)
Hope you feel better soon.

Yep, as a matter of fact. :-)
