A Cooing baby...

Beside the usual cries, we notice that Baby Sheri is beginning to make sounds like 'ooh, ah, er, umm'. According to some books that mummy has read, parents should try to reciprocate with similar sounds. When we do that, baby Sheri seems to respond to us by continuing to make such sounds as if she is communicating with us. Well, I suppose she is communicating with us in her own way even though we may not understand what she is trying to tell us. I do not know whether it is coincidental. Sometimes, she will utter the sound 'umm' when I ask her whether she wants milk. Anyway, I think it's good that she is learning to make these little sounds as I believe that these will form the basic framework of her language ability in the future.
