Baby phonology

Yesterday, Iorek started moving his lower lip downwards and tensing it, while saying [i].  Today, he said [gi].
He is now 7 months, 3 weeks old.

    Build on his use of his lips - model "b" and "m" too!! He's on track! :o)

  2. Thanks, Abby! This is the first new sounds that I've heard other than the usual coos, trills, and gurgles, so this is really exciting! I'll work on [b] and [m] now. I'm glad to know he's on track. He's very advanced in some other areas, like he's had object permanence since about month 5! I want to keep track of his progress. The toddler, 2 years and 2 months, is getting very good with two work phrases, knows the entire alphabet, and can count to 13.
