I so wish I could understand what this kid is saying. The story telling is virtually non stop. And it's not just the ba ba ba ba da da da ffffftttt type of baby babble I expected. He is definitely using different "words"...Not just one syllable sounds on constant repeat. Except for this new screech/laugh sound he's got goin' on. That is one syllable we could definitely do without.
Yesterday Alex was playing in the living room while Travis and I blabbed about our days. He crawled over the doorway into the kitchen, stood up, and launched into a very detailed story. He stood there the whole time looking back and forth between Travis and I with one hand on the door frame while the other hand continually punctuated and highlighted points of his story. And apparently whatever he was telling us that we couldn't understand was very funny. Every third "sentence" or so he would pause and laugh like a psychotic hyena on its tip toes, and then carry on with the story.
I have tried many a time to get his narratives on video. But due to a certain Grandma that takes a zillion and one pictures of him, every time he sees a camera he stops whatever he is doing to smile for a picture. Aside from wanting to run some sort of translator program on the video, I want it for documentation of the lip curl he gets when he talks. It's very Elvis meets Sesame Street.
