0-Year-Old Chat Dictionary | My First Mother's Day as a Mom

Good evening, this is Yukicchi ☺

Today is "Mother's Day."
A day to give gifts and express your feelings in words.

In honor of such a day,
I decided to focus on my daughter's [babbling].

"0-Year-Old Chat Dictionary 📖"

Thinking that this chatter might only be for now makes it so precious. I took the liberty of translating it from a mom's perspective! lol

0-Year-Old Chat Dictionary 🎙️

Aaaaah!
👉 "Someone come here!"
A scream from when she's left alone in the playpen.
She puts her whole body into it, so the volume is incredible.

Man-man-ma
👉 "I'm hungry" or "Hold me"
Often appears before meals or when she wants to be cuddled.
Characterized by a gentle voice.

Bu-wa, U-wa
👉 "That's interesting!"
Common when she's watching Synapushe or has discovered something.

Kya-kya-kya-kya-kya
👉 "This is too fun!"
When she hits her funny bone, like when I blow raspberries on her tummy.
It makes me smile too.

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
👉 "So, I do this, and then this..."
Muttering while playing by herself.
Combined with her serious face, it always catches my attention.

Nnnng!
👉 "No way!"
A full-force rejection when she's not happy.
Even if it's short, the emotion comes through clearly.

Ki-ki-ki-ki-ki
👉 (New) The "Ki" that's been a trend lately
It seems fun that the sounds she makes are increasing.

Babbling might not have "meaning as words," but it's an important means of communication that properly conveys emotions and feelings.
It really is.

When I listen closely to it,
"Is this what she's thinking?"
I find myself imagining things, or
"Thank you for telling me with your voice"
is how I feel.

The "emotion headquarters" inside my daughter's head seems to be doing well today too.
It reminded me of Inside Out.

By the way, my husband bought sushi today, so dinner was a feast 🍣

When my husband said, "Thanks for everything, as always," to her,
my daughter said"Nnn~ ☺"and
smiled with her whole face scrunched up.

That was, without a doubt, the best gift ever.

Next time, I think I'll write about
some parenting ideas I tried this week!

Thank you so much for reading this far 🍀
