Baby Talk

At 5 months, Izzul had already uttered his first consonant – BU. I would like to think that he was trying to say IBU (mother). But at 6 months, he had forgotten he had mentioned Bu altogether and proceed with a series of TA-TA-TA. When we say “bye-bye” to him, he will reply – “Ta-Ta-Ta”, when we say “Would you like to eat?” He’ll say, “Ta-Ta-Ta”.
Although these may sound just like random babbles to us, it probably means something to him. I know that babies develop skills at their own pace but there is nothing wrong with creating the supportive and interactive environment for language learning.
I think I mentioned before – my passion for singing for my son. Well, almost always my high-pitch singing is a good way to keep my son riveted and learn to decipher some words.
Izzul also loves it when his Dad reads Bedtime books to him. Yes, I secretly feel that Izzul prefers his Dad to do the reading and me to do the singing. I could never get his attention when it was my turn to read.
So, his latest progress on language learning - he can say 2 syllable! Not that it is sensible or anything but it is a great. I mean, there are so many words that are 2 syllable right?. I-bu, A-yah, Bu-ta, Gi-la...for English word, there’s Mo-ther, Fa-ther, Brad-Pitt, Jus-tin...
His new favourite word is"A-Bah" and he says it so adorably. Followed by a string of Ba-ba-ba.... At this point of time, deep in my heart, I am much awaiting for his first REAL, meaningful word that comes out from his mouth. Just wondering...Would he call out to me first? Or call his dad first? What if his first word is neither Ibu or Ayah – just someone else...or something else.

Oh Btw, last entry's pic - Izzul looking all comfy right? nah, that's not his room. He will only have his room hopefully end of this year. That is at a showroom...hehe..
