Gavin and Jasper

Gavin and Jasper were born to two geeks who apparently spend all their time writing about, taking photos of, and videotaping their kids. This is their photo album, video library, development journal, and daily activity blog.

Loud Beep and Other Noises

posted by Jeff at 4:30 PM

Gavin has imitated car horns for many months now. Recently, however, we were sitting on the front porch watching the garbage truck pickup up our trash can (as we do every week–if he sees the can out there, he drags me out to the porch until the truck comes) when our friendly truck driver treated Gavin to a blast of the truck's air horn. Gavin now has three horn noises in his repetoire: a regular beep, an old timey "ah-oooooga", and a strenuously loud truck beep. I was trying to get him to make his old time car horn noise a bit louder, but he thought I wanted him to make the loud beep. Another high point in this video comes when he responds to my attempts to teach him the word "car" with increasingly insistent "vroom-vroom" noises.

Traci said... The persistent vroom's and furrowed brow totally crack me up!

granmama said... He makes the sounds. He understands what is being said. And just like his father as a toddler, he sees no reason to say words when he can get someone else to say them for him!! :D
