Baby Speak

Recently Seth has grown increasingly frustrated when he’s trying to communicate something. He knows exactly what he wants to say, and we often don’t understand him. Then his little temper flares up. But we’re starting to understand him more and more, that is, we’re translating his pronunciations. It’s like we’re learning a new language too.

A few nights ago when I put his stuffed dog in his crib and a blanket over Seth and the dog, he stood up and insisted on something. It sounded nothing like it, but he was pointing to the rocker and saying, “other blanket.”

Oh, the other blanket. I commended him for getting his point across and could tell he was very proud of himself for making me understand. I got the other blanket, a bright red, white, and blue one that Mama Burton made for Savannah. It’s his favorite.

Attention

When Arwen was a couple of weeks old and Brad’s parents came up to help, I had lots of opportunity to rest. I went to my room several times. Once, Arwen was on the bed, so in order to protect her from Seth, I shut my door. Seth heard the sound and came running for me because to him, it meant Mama was disappearing, yet again! This time I was in the hallway, so he got picked up.

Neither Seth nor Savannah are jealous hearted, but a couple of days ago, his little sister coming up on twelve weeks, Seth started saying “Up! Up!” more. He hears her crying and will come to intercept me before I can get to her, and, depending on the urgency of her cry, he often gets picked up.

All right

We finally figured out what Seth has meant all this time when he says “aye.” We thought it was his word for yes. We were almost right and finally figured out he’s been saying “all right.”

Their 1st conversation

He started a little conversation with Savsnnah 3 weeks ago or so.

Seth: “Dada.” (which means Savannah)
Savannah: “What is it Seffie?”
Seth: “Umm.”
Savannah: “Did you forget Seffie?”
Seth: “Yeah.”

They’ve repeated this conversation countless times, especially in their beds after being tucked in.
