We've been working hard lately to help Cooper figure out how to say and use his own name. He knows that Cooper is his name, but he never says it. If you ask him "Where's Cooper?" he proudly points to himself and smiles. He turns around when you say his name, he responds appropriately to "This is for Cooper" and so on. But he's never said it.
Yesterday, Matt and I were playing with him and we started asking him about his words, "What's this? Who's that?"
Dada!
Doggie!
Mama!
and then "Who's this?" pointing directly at Cooper...
Baby!
How interesting. We almost never call him a baby anymore- certainly not for months. We call him many things, but mostly just stick with Cooper. I think he must have figured out what a baby is from daycare- his daycare recently enrolled twins boys that look about 8 months old, and a 6 month old. So I bet it clicked that little boys are called Babies.
Today we tried it again and sure enough, he's convinced that he should call himself Baby. Funny.
