From baby talk to baby talking!

Gnanu has been trying several words and expressions over the past few months. Sometimes he goes on talking and then shaking his head and finally clapping. I just clap after him though most of the time I'm just admiring his moving lips, smile and blabber.

He got a few words right over last week... He says 'tee bee' for TV, 'cookery' for cooker and 'bijil' for whistle. He says some other words which I still haven't figured what the meaning for. It's just fun to watch him open one of his books and say 'maa' when he sees a cow and 'baa' when he sees a goat. The funniest thing happened yesterday. I downloaded an app that showed pictures of things with every alphabet. When D for Dinosaur came up... He called me and said 'kaanom'.. Which means 'missing'. In his baby head it means he hasn't seen it yet... But I was so happy when he called me to say he hadn't seen it yet. It was the cutest accusation 'Amma, why haven't you shown me this animal' accusation.

He once walked over to my mother in the kitchen and said something which none of us could figure. It sounded something like 'paaapom'. He was pointing to my pet Remo, a Dalmatian. When we understood, we were all stumped. My Labrador had eaten his meal and after that pushed Remo away and finished his meal too. What Baby G was trying to say was 'paavam' which means 'how sad'. It took us all a solid ten minutes to understand. He then walked over to my lab Chitti and hit him on his back saying 'no no no.' How much My boy learns!


Today being Tamil New Year's Day... I tried to teach him to say 'happy new year'. After minutes, we ened up with an 'appy nuir'. Any which way 'Happy New Year' from baby G and Mommy G.
