Baby Talk

Son #2 babbles, gurgles, and coos constantly. 

One day, we went to the bank to set up an account.  Son #2 was fascinated with the new scenery, particularly the desk.  He began a conversation with the desk that included generous hand movements and leg gyrations. 

"Goooo, cooo, agooo, da da da da da, ba ba, wa wa wa wa."  Son #2 exclaimed as bubbles burst about his little mouth.

"Wa wa wa wa, ba ba, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!"  He screamed as his excitement grew.

The desk said nothing and continued to sit there undisturbed.

Son #2 patted the desk with his little drooly hands.  His feet kicked rapidly.  He looked up at the flustered bank officer who was struggling with the uncooperative computer paperwork and stated. "Ppppbbbbbffffffftttttt!"

A coworker quipped.  "He told you!"

How Loud Can You Go?

Son #2 has discovered his voice.  Now when he plays, he screams with joy. 

One day while laying in his play pen, he began to talk to his little bear mobile.  His conversation with the bears was punctuated with sharp little shrieks.  My husband, oldest son, and I watched with a mixture of curiosity and amusement. 

Son #2 kicked his little legs and sucked his hands as the conversation continued.  The bears on the mobile swayed back and forth in response to his exuberant kicks.  Son #2's conversation began to pick up some steam.  He shrieked and shouted with delight as the bears swung widely.  All of a sudden, he let out a a wild scream.  My husband remarked.  "Howard Dean, is that you??"
