For the most part, he is pretty understandable, and his words sound like they are supposed to, though we've heard some changes in how he uses the letter "s" and "p" at the beginning of words: "school bus" now sounds like "cool bus;" "spoon" now sounds like "foon;" "pancakes" now sounds like "cancakes," and "police car" sounds like "colice car." We're not sure what is going on there, as he used to say these words without a problem. Perhaps some of the younger kids in his room are influencing his speech patterns??
While we often wish that he didn't wake up quite so early in the morning (pretty much between 5:45 and 6:15 each day), Jonah is generally pretty happy to stay in his crib and jabber to himself. It's amazing to listen to him across the baby monitor, and we often wish we knew what exactly he is thinking and how he moves from one idea to another. Sometimes the "transitions" seem logical, but more often than not, we have no idea how he gets from Idea A to Idea B.
Last week, Jonah was particularly talkative at bedtimes. On Thursday - Uncle David's birthday, as well as that of our friend Kristin - he went on saying "happy birthday to you" ad nauseam, mixed in with some other concepts and ideas, for nearly an hour. I set my phone to create a voice memo via the baby monitor in order to capture some of his jabbering for posterity's sake. Here's a sample from that with a fairly recent picture as backdrop so I could actually upload it to YouTube (Grandpa Gregg should be glad to hear some references in there to Popperville!).
i listened to the entire thing. i have no idea what he said :D papa bear?
