Little Chatterbox Production

This kid doesn't shut up! He's most talkative when he wakes up, before he goes to sleep, during meals, when someone's talking, and at random moments throughout the day. For quite a while now, he's been practicing the "b" sound. In the last few days, however, we noticed that he seems to be expanding his repertoire. These are just the ones we recognized.

ba: "dad" in Chinese

bra: you know... female undergarment

bwa

dada: Daddy in English

gan: Um.... could be "dry" or the F-word in Chinese, depending on the tone

fei: "fly" in Chinese

bei: "cup" in Chinese

And he has managed to put "gan-bei" together, which means "bottoms up" in Chinese

gaw: "tall" or "high" in Chinese

Last night, when we were reading Willy Wonka before bed, he went "Gaw! Gaw! (squeal) Omgaw." It was when the Oompa-Loompas were taking Mike Teevee away to stretch him back to his size. I laughed so hard I had to stop reading.

Oh, I can't wait til the day he shares a common language with us. I'd love to know what he has to say.
