Isaac is starting to babble these days. He still mostly coos and crows, or makes other single-letter noises, so it's exciting to hear him start to combine two letters.
He's produced the classic baby babbling -- like "ba-ba-ba" -- but other combinations are his favorites. "Who-uh, who-uh" is a big one. Sometimes when he's chewing on something, he says "Aii-yii, aii-yii" like a mariachi singer. My favorite, though, is when we're reading a book and he sees a picture he especially likes -- he pauses, studies it intently, and utters a single "Huh" under his breath, like an art critic.
Of course I've been prompting him to say "mama," but unfortunately he makes the "mmm" sound (as he sucks in his lips like a moray eel) when he's unhappy. It's heartwrenching to hear him crying out "mmma! mmma!" when he's in distress, even though I know he's not actually calling for me.
