We have some of our own made up words that we use with her too, and now that she's a bit older we do try and talk and say words as normal as possible, but the inflection in our voices definitely gets a rise out of her, where as talking normally doesn't usually. More than anything I'm afraid she's not gonna know what her name is...because we have so many nicknames for her! :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16875307109685150842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067490622767117214.post-49407918435898413972012-08-03T07:52:19.412-04:002012-08-03T07:52:19.412-04:00There's a reason you talk that way:

And all of us all over the world help them, modulating the sounds of the quicksilver flow of speech in fundamentally the same way. Put simply, when we speak to infants we speak in a very funny style. When confronted with a baby, adults produce a signal that is raised about an octave in pitch and slows down very carefully and creates these swooping contours. It's not a job interview voice. It's a very distinct voice that's fetching to a baby. Why would every person on the planet do it if it's not important? <br /><br />Doctors and scientists have analyzed it every which way, and learned that adults make an unconscious effort to stretch the signals, exaggerate the acoustic components that are exactly the dimensions that the baby needs to pay attention to in order to form the maps for speech.<br /><br />From: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/brain/episode2/babytalk/Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622876789284884234noreply@blogger.com
