So for probably a month or so, when Owen gets cranky or whiny or hurt, it sounds like he is saying “mama…mamamama…mama” but even though we love hearing it, we know he’s not really truly saying it.
Yesterday, when Tom was playing ball with him (with his new hoop) he swears Owen would call the ball his “ba ba.”
So today we were at the pool and were playing with the ball and hoop there. There were quite a few other kids so we took our turn then left the ball and went to the other pool. But Owen did NOT want to go and kept his eye on the balls. He would try climbing up on us to see them. It was sooo cute. After about 10 minutes of us trying to distract him, I swear I heard “mama…baba” and he pointed.
So, I consider those his kinda sorta first gibberish words…
See, I told you when he had something important to say, he’d start talking. MOM, I want those balls!!!
