Sounds of Expression

Zane is beginning to leave behind a really funny and enjoyable stage of expression. Some expressions have more emphasis than others.  Read some of his most frequently used expressions below while enjoying his interesting way for expressing his love for Baby Doll.
"Uh-oh!" (He says the "oh" with perfectly rounded lips and lots of emphasis!)



"Ahhhh . . ." (He says as he gives hugs and pats baby's back.)
 
While saying goodbyes and waving hand from lips to the blessed receiver: "Mmmmwah!" (And yes, it is at least that many Ms.)

He often said "Uh-uh" as a reply of no and of course with a strong swaying of his head from side to side. And with the opposite he says "Uh-hu" with a strong nod up and down.

He speaks "Huh?" when asking again and "Hmm . . ." in response to things he ends up walking away from. 

He does tricks and says "Ta-da!"  

He says "Ah . . ." after big swigs and "Yum!" after delicious bites.

He squeals "Weeee . . .!" as he enjoys motion. He shouts "Yay!" for excitement and celebrations.

He lifts and carries and follows it with a "Phew!" or "Whew!" or with a large grumble or growl. Sometimes he speaks for another laborer.

His transition from this stage is overlapping with the me-me-me stage, which seems to be trailing off too, or isn't as frequent as a couple of weeks ago. It's exciting to watch use of his gestures and modulation of his voice. He's quite entertaining.
