Parker Week 10 – Coo Coo Cachoo!
March 25, 2009
Babies don’t have many favorite activities – sleeping and eating seem to round out the list for quite a long time. Sometime around 2 or 3 months, they start to get a little more interactive. Parker has decided that his newest favorite activity is having “coo conversations”. I talk to Parker all the time, and when we make eye contact, he seems to watch what I’m doing. However, when he coos and I coo back at him, he smiles and wiggles and becomes much more engaged in the activity. This has lead to regular “coo conversations” in our house – even Xander gets involved sometimes. It’s not always the most exciting conversation, but it’s lots of fun to see how much enjoyment Parker gets from it, and as the experts say, we’re hopefully setting him up for good language and conversation skills down the road. So, for now, two languages can be heard in our house – English, and Baby Coo (though Parker is the only one who can interpret the latter…)
