Baby's First Words...teaching baby to talk

This video a perfect example of a mom and dad teaching a 2 and a half month old baby to say "oo". And they are so surprised when baby says it back to them! This is a great example of " baby talk" just for practice and pleasure.


If you look really hard, you can see baby moving his lips to trying to move them into the rounded position he can see his mom making - to say oo. Another lovely feature of this video is how the mother uses a sing-song, high pitched voice ( we call it parentese or motherese). Babies pay attention and focus on the speaker's face, when they are spoken to in that way.
