Daddy Needs a Drink by Rob Wilder

Colt has mastered at least a dozen new noises in the past two weeks. My intent has been to catch several of them on video and post a "collection" of Colt noises, but I have not been steadfast enough with the video camera (and really, we'd probably be the only people amused by it). It all started in New York two weeks ago when I taught him how to make "raspberries." He seemed interested, so I kept repeating the noise, and the next day he did it himself! A LOT! Constantly! (To his own surprise, it seems.) At first he was just practicing. Then he realized it got a good reaction, and he did it to amuse. Now he does it out of joy or excitement. Like - we'll get real animated and silly and ask him if he likes his carrots (solid food - next blog entry) or if he had a good nap, or if wants to be tickled, and this (see video) is the response we get. He certainly thinks he is communicating. It is so cute (in our opinion). He has several spin-offs of this noise too. He can combine it with a clucking sound, he can tighten it up and make a short quick sound, or he might just cluck, or he, well you get the idea. He's working on new ones every day.

That IS cute! I can remember when I taught Aidan how to spit. I thought I was going to regret it, but it only lasted a while before he forgot about it. As a wise woman, I thought I better not remind him!
