Babble babble

My son is a talker. Unfortunately, he still speaks that language only other babies seems to understand. However, he is amazing at imitating tonalities in speech patterns. The tonalities I use when I say "uh-huh" or "mmmmm good" Ezra can mimic perfectly, just without use of the actual words involved. It's incredibly adorable. The three words he seems to know well are "mama" (which he uses for all close family members regardless of gender, all photographs, landline telephones, and most dark-haired females over 25 years-old), "baw-baw" (which he correctly only uses for his paternal grandmother), and "nai-nai-nai-nai-nai-nai" (milk... he repeats this until he gets a bottle of liquid white gold). Every once and a while he says "tita" or "Nah-noo" (Tita Nanelle, which means Auntie Danielle).

But mostly Ezra babbles on and on in a language all his own. Especially once he gets a cell phone in his hands.

Not only does he babble as any grown up having conversation with that unseen person on the other line, he paces, rocks his head, and makes hand gestures. He even does a form of "hold on" before he sets the phone down for a moment to use his hands.

You need video proof.
