little cats talking is coming on by leaps and bounds now... kind of :)

he says bicket, gat gat, baba and baguette.

he also babbles all the time but these are the main words. now you may think that just four words would not communicate much but it all depends on the inflection and the situation.

for example bicket is a fav, I take it to be at it's base the word biscuit and sometimes it does translate to "mother I would like a biscuit please" other times its meaning becomes "mother please expose that breast a little because I need a comfy pillow and I shall not take no for an answer".

it can also mean "mother I would like something to eat, I will leave the choice of actual food stuff up to you, biscuit or not I don't care but if what you provide displeases me I shall throw it to the floor."

gat gat is a more simple expression. it most means "cat, I have seen the cat, I shall chase the cat" it can also mean "I have seen a photo of a cat/cat on the TV or cartoon representation of a cat". or sometimes a dog. I think he thinks dogs are big smelly cats, he not so pleased to see them.

pigeons and seagulls also get called gat gat at times. but most gat gat means there is a cat around somewhere.

baba means baby, child, small person, photo of baby and sometimes a news reader lady that he quite likes on the TV.

and then there is baguette. no idea at all but he does say it an awful lot :)

oh and how could I forget hiya?

he picks up a smallish object, preferably a mobile phone but almost anything will do, holds it to his ear and says hiya. no idea where he picked that up from, I'm sure I don't say it on the phone. but as it always gets a laugh he continues to do it.

for non verbal communication he is at present rather obsessed by his eyes, brow and eyebrows. he does his daddy frowning impression still but now this moves on to then raising his eyebrows as high as he can and wiggling them around. the response to this must be to do the same thing back or he will continue to do it and look like a little nutter.

also closing his eyes up tight and grinning can keep him amused for ages. specially if done while exploring a room. unfortunately this often ends in tears and bruises.
