Reminds me of this absolutely delightful video from a few years ago:

That's so cute.

I can totally see how that establishes things in the human brain in the development towards speech.

baby doesn't have clear words yet, but he has body language and gesture, eye contact, prosody, shared attention, the give and take pacing of interaction. baby has picked up a good deal about how casual, comfortable conversation with the guys or a close family member works!

Ooooh learned a new word, thank you! Prosody: the patterns of rhythm and sound used in poetry. I see how you used that to represent the way the baby was copying the sound pattern of his dad.

i have learned something as well. it's a word that's familiar to me in clinical context, i had not really thought about it as something linguists and creative language-smiths are thinking about until looking it up just now. 🙂

I would love to see a 5-years-later him doing the same thing now follow up.

First thing I thought of. Love that video.

Ha. I forgot all about that video! It's so adorable. I wonder if that's why I started doing something similar with my dogs?

Can confirm, my sis has a 2 years old. But it's getting better.
