It never ceases to amaze me how #babies are able to figure out, basically on their own, how to reproduce all sorts of sounds followed by words, just by hearing/watching us speak.

I'm reminded of this marvel every time #BeardGrabber has figured out a new word (and either @Siiw or me has figured out what it is he's trying to say so we can further guide him towards the proper pronunciation) and starts repeating it ad infinitum. ;)

#1yo (or rather almost 16 months old) #BeardGrabber's current favourite phrases (in #Norwegian) seem to be:

ka e det? (what is that?) (by far the most popular, and repeated (and lovingly answered!) ad nauseum, lol)

krem/crème! (cream)
olje (oil)
and (duck)
hund (dog)
Nan! (the brand of milk formula)
te! (tea, though he also mixes it up with the actual English or #Dutch pronunciation :))
grøt (porridge)
#Pikachu (one of his toys)
and his latest(?): handduk (towel)

(and if you mention some of those words to him, he tends to run off to point out to you where to find it 😍)
