Babble

Griffin's babbles seem to be slowly evolving into a few words - three words to be precise. They probably aren't recognizable words to anyone outside of our immediate family. But they are there! Words. Babblin' little words.

The first babble to take on a wordish form was (my personal favorite), Mommmm or Mama. (I admit to coaching him a little bit on that one.) The second was, of course, dadada. Although Chris contends Griffin also uses this babble to refer to the couch, table and any other inanimate object within his cruising reach.

The latest is Griffin's addition of the word "uh oh" to his vocabulary. The "uh oh" is usually drawn out with excited fervor right before he throws the object he is holding onto the floor. We pick it up and give it back to him. He smiles, replies "Uh Oh" and throws the object again. You'd think this would get old. But well, it hasn't. (In fact, we all (meaning his two older brothers) may be encouraging that one just a wee bit.)

Mommma, Dadda, Uh oh.. what could be next? Well, today Griffin discovered volume. He can yell. And he can yell loudly. This provided endless amusement to him as he sat in his high chair at dinner yelling and then laughing from the sheer joy of hearing his own voice. Now that has the potential to grow old. Quickly.
