Max makes sounds I've never heard come out of a baby. You know, most babies do this cute babbly thing with some cooing and laughing. Max does that sometimes, but mostly he hisses, growls and makes weird clicking and clucking sounds like a Bushman.
The other day he was in his walker and banging into all of my kitchen appliances and hissing at them. BANG (hit's fridge) "HISSSSSSSS" turns around BANG (hits stove) "HIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSS!" This went on for about a half hour.
Sometimes when I'm tickling him he'll be laughing and then he'll smile, (or maybe it's a sneer, baring his clenched teeth) and growl. "GRRRRRRR".
He also bites.
Seriously, did I give birth to a puppy? A mutant snake?
As for his speaking in African tongues, I don't know where that came from. I mean, it's cute, in a kind of weird sort of way. I guess it's just Max's way of being unique. As a second child, he's constantly compared to his big brother, and maybe these vocalizations are his way of standing out. See? Look at me! I am multi-lingual! I speak Dog, Bushman and Parseltounge!
My conclusion = He is part star wars character, partly a wizard in slytherin (HarryPotter), and he lost his tail at birth. What have you been reading to this kid?? J/K I am loving every minute of it!!
