I’m sure many of you have heard those famous sounds “goo goo ga ga”, the cliché baby talk if you will. Or is it?
Maxton loves to make the “g” sound – in his mind, all words have the letter “g” in them. Okay, I may be exaggerating a little, but he loves “g”. He will often say “gugg-gugg” which seems to be fairly universal at this point. He loves to say the word “again” (he understands the concept of the word) which he says quite well and often; if he likes what you’re doing, prepare to be on repeat-mode for the next 20 minutes.
He also says “truck” which he pronounces “uck”, and sometimes “uckg”, if he’s in the “g” mood. “Up” often sounds like “ugg” – which I hear the most while I am trying to prepare dinner.
Last week I asked him to say “ball” which he repeated back to me as “bogg”. Sure, why not?
Don’t get me wrong, he doesn’t add a “g” to every word he says, but I think if he had his way, a “g” sound would be part of every word.
So maybe “goo goo ga ga” isn’t so cliché, but I always figured it was a difficult sound to make for babies, because you have to use the back of your tongue – I guess not.
“G” is for grrrrr.
haha this is hilarious! Halle is the same way but with P’s. I say, “Halle say Mama” she says “Mup!” Dada is “Bap”…. I wonder if it has something to do with Pup being her first word and favourite thing? 🙂
Lol! That’s too funny. He’s starting to get frustrated when we don’t understand what he’s trying to say. He points and whines a lot. Haha.
