Our growing boy is exploring new sounds. He's gone through grunting and growling which had us worried for a week or two! Then straight raspberries...nothing but drool. (one night I was teaching him mama, "James say MAMA" I'd get back..."Ppppppppppps and spit all down his chin" we repeated this nearly eight times and had to stop when my abs started burning from laughter) Then we started hearing "ba ba ba" over and over. Matt asked Barb if she knew anything that triggered it and she said they practice Mama with his friend Titan and that is how James participates. Hee Hee. Anyway it sounds SO CLOSE to Bob...that we just had to call Matt's dad, GrandBob. We called and on cue James said into the phone "bob bob bob" We hope we made GrandBob's day! It sure was super cute...just like our boy.
