This is a very social, smart little girl. She's about to talk, if she only had the words. I wonder how old she is, this is amazing. Notice how she uses her hands and the eye contact. She's observed adults talking and is mimicking it, I think. That is probably what she sees when adults talk, a stream of nonsense while they look at each other and move their hands. She's getting a great reaction out of ... is that her dad? Delightful!! She's obviously not autistic.

Sounds like and looks like the little girl was trying to "tattle" on her Mom who apparently did something that the little girl didn't like. Watch her reaction when "Dad" starts to laugh at her. Looks like she got a little confused as if what she was saying wasn't a laughing matter. This is so cute and watching and listening takes me back to when my own children were this age. Thanks for sharing.

This is what 'priceless' is all about! I've watched it 20 times too. That little baby has so much to say and is so adorable in her delivery! I agree with the others that think this baby will be a very bright child. And dad... he's loving every word. Wonderful capture of a future intelligent woman who has something important to say, and by gosh she's gonna make sure you understand every word... so listen up people! I just love everything about her!

This little girl is communicating something very important...I think she is telling on her momma. She is very bright, just because we don't understand her, doesn't make HER silly, it makes us stupid for not paying attention to her.......YOU GO BABY GIRL!!!!!

This just shows what scientists have already proved...women have a superior right brain and have a far larger vocabulary sooner than little boys.... This little girl is very smart and almost ready to talk in full conversations and what you are hearing is not gibberish but the predecessory to speech a very beautiful sound in any language!!! To make fun of women in such a way is demeaning and despicable!!! Shame on you arrogant males!!!

This should be more aptly titled "Are men born this way?" I agree with #14 and 26 (and disagree with almost all you other dw--bs), this girl is test-flighting language skills she sees adults use all day. Unfortunately, the man with her, like so many men before him, instead of interacting with her in an encouraging way and giving her positive feedback, treats her like she's nuts, and then laughs at her like she's a funny object. You can even see her confusion and disappointment when he laughs. Watch her, she looks down and away in shame. Her voice becomes less enthusiastic and lower pitched, possibly sad. She thought she was doing so well, and was expecting confirmation of that. As with so many women, been there. Fortunately most moms know what to do (don't you?) by joining in on the game, and treating her like the brilliant child she is. Go girl ! !

This cute little gal seems to have something to say but all you feminists are putting a little too much meaning to what she is trying to say . She could just be mimicking the way her mom harangues the dad about cutting the grass or taking out the garbage!

I actually think she was telling the man that Momma was talking about her. It sounded like she said "talking about me."
Reminds me of my own daughter about that age. When she slowed down we made out complete sentences, "Would you read the book to me?" at age 15 months.
This little girl is probably about that same age and is on track to speak as well as my own did.

What's not funny is that this baby is too small to be in a forward-facing car seat.

This is a funny video and not a statement on the brain pans of males versus females. Neither is it a comment on the presumed father not encouraging the child properly by laughing at what she is "saying". If you listen to the background voices, you can hear a woman (the presumed mother) also laughing at this precocious child. The gibberish she is speaking is, of course, her own language and it makes perfect sense to her at this moment. Any similarity it may bear to a known language as regards sentence constructs, intonations, syntax, et.al., are coincidental. The "language", such as it is, will disappear in a few months when she has learned the language of her parents. She may wind up speaking her native tongue clearly at a very early age, but it is presumptuous to think that this fire hydrant of baby talk is indicative of predecessory language.
I think the person who originally posted the video could have found a better title than "Are Women Born This Way" because the overly sensitive amongst us might take offense at that but it is hardly despicable. Let's call this video what it is - a cute baby babbling - and not assign all kinds of pseudo sociological meanings to it.

This is so cute. I remember when my own kids went through this stage. It is sweet and so much fun. This is great for her communication development. It is hard not to get the giggles sometimes because while she isn't making sense to us, she knows exactly what she is saying. Adorable.

The sound and tone are absolutely English. I can't think of any other language that sounds that close. The child has a good ear for sounds.
She is a smart one. The split second that the man starts laughing at her, she gives a dirty look and realizes that something is not quite right. Gosh, I hope her mom does not talk that relentlessly. The child is imitating someone from her life.

Whether or not that video is unenhanced, it's hilarious! Well done, if it's "doctored". If not -- well, half those genes came from a man. That was weak. We all know that women are more "gifted" when it comes to comversational skills. Bravo. That was really entertaining. I'd hate to be her husband.

41. balonsolos commented 15 years ago
LOL yes this is funny and precious. I remember my daughter near the same age going on a tirade after she got her hand spanked after doing something bad for the upteenth time by her momma. She did the same thing. You cant help but laugh. Its to over whelming the first time and wonderful.
Yes mothers who spend more time with thier children see this more and can interact more after the first one. The first is mind blowing. So be gentle on the guy who is total over- whelmed. I raised my daughter from the age of 3 on... after her mother died of cancer. I took care of her and her mother. So we can be very attentive when it matters and just as quick we can be insensitive like most women. We are more alike than most wish or understand.

Oh, I have to agree with those who see this little girl as being very intelligent. Men, the reason she is talking so fast is because even at such a young age, she has already figured out that it's important to speak clearly and quickly to men WHILE SHE HAS THEIR ATTENTION! LOL! She is absolutely adorable.

43. Degree516 commented 15 years ago
I thought this video was very entertaining but couldn't help to laugh more at some of the comments people are making, like saying shame on the husband for laughing at her I'm sorry but boy or girl sitting in that chair I would have laughed myself. And if it was me in that chair and my father was laughing at me I'd laugh looking back at this video and I think everyone who made comments would laugh at themselves as well. Anyone who says he should be doing something else think back for a second and try to remember one memory past three years old. When your child does something funny you laugh when they do something spectacular your congratulate them. I don't think he would be laughing if she spoke her first word. She's not speaking she's babbling and mimicking adults and all kids do that maybe not as fast but it's a common thing. Watch the video for the enjoyment not to try and relate it to some male/feminist argument.

I don't know if all women are born that way but I was!I always joked and said I came out of my mom talking!
I actually tell peole just call me motor mouth......
Also, i talk very fast as if I need to get it said, before I'm interupted, I wonder if she's thinking the same?
What a beautiful baby and family.
I did notice the baby's facial expression change when her Dad turned his head, I don't think it was because he was laughing, but she lost his attention for that instant. I think her Dad is a loving great Dad! He's so happy, he's not laughing at her, he's just very happy!
She will have have a career talking! I always say, I'll never retire as long as I'm talking!
Oh, by the way, she'll make a very good listener too.

I think this is hilarious and one of the cutest things I have seen for some time. She surely thinks she is saying something important to her Dad. Very cute. I have known men that could out talk women any day of the week. The people making such rude comments about this precious, intelligent little girl, is unbelievable. Of course the Dad would laugh, as I did. It is funny.

Babies can talk! When my eldest son was 15 and 1/2 months old my first daughter was born. My mom was staying with him at our house while I was in the hospital. When we came home my son came running and yelling, "Grandma, Grandma, mama's home with the baby!" Yes, he talked in sentences when he was a year old. He is now 50.
Boy babies can talk just as well as girl babies!

My understanding is speech is limited by the development of the palate. The child may well know what she is trying to communicate, in my opinion, she does, but hasn't developed the physical capability to enunciate the sounds correctly. When my boys were this age I could often understand what they were trying to say if I was in the next room. Do you get irritated when people laugh when you're being serious? I remember well learning words, what they mean and how they are used; I'm 58 and still working on it.

You go girl!! Keep it up and make your mommy proud!! My baby girl jabbered like that and she is now 7 and still going strong. School has been out a week and she still has to tell me things that went on the last week of school. Sometimes she drives me nuts, but I know she will someday make something of herself. Men need to realize that we women sometimes just need to talk.

That's correct - research suggests babies know the meaning of 400-500 words before they say their first word, and can interpret subtle body language and facial expressions too. Amazing - who knows what is going on in her little brain. That said, I would have found it completely impossible to sit through that diatribe without laughing!

Oh gosh this so reminds me of my daughter when she was this age! She jibbered non-stop. I would encourage her by affirming what she was saying. We were at a basketball game, first row, second level, she was talking to me, I said, "Yes"! She repeated, much the same thing again and I said, "uh-hunh". She stood right in front of me and said it again. Again I affirmed what she said, and she preceded to jump off the balconey! I was quick enough to grab her by the back of the dress (she had to climb under a bar) and haul her to safety! She asked me 3 times if she could! Don't tell me babies don't know what they are saying, we just don't!
Also, she comes by it honestly, my dad always said I was vaccinated with a Victrola needle (some of you young ones will have to look that word up), and now I am a preacher!
One last comment for the man who said the baby should be facing backwards: obviously the car is not moving as someone in the front seat is shooting the video! Gosh people, try to reason things out before you make silly comments!

There's no POOR DAD to it. That man is completely in love with his daughter and this is a moment that brings him pure joy; Absolute and complete JOY! Those of you commenting about women talking too much or in a tone that men tune out, should be ashamed! LOL! This baby girl is talking to her daddy, the man who wakes early every morning to turn on the sun for her. That daddy wouldn't trade this moment for anything on the planet! I laughed and cried at the same time!

67. Coralyn commented 15 years ago
Too CUTE!! Reminds me of when my daughter was little. That said, as a former Child Passenger Safety Technician, I'd like to point out that she'd be much safer rear facing in her car seat. The bare minimum requirements for turning a child forward facing are 12 mos. and 20 lbs., but the AAP and safety experts now recommend kids stay rear facing until they outgrow the rear facing limits of their convertible car seat. Rear facing better protects the head, neck and spine during a crash.

What's also funny is how some of the feminist types are reading into it making the man seem somehow dumb and irresponsible for laughing and not taking the little girl seriously.

out their voices and really telling us something! Look at her go! I've seen toddlers chat this way with others, and they know when they are being misunderstood. I hope this little one continues to bring joy and laughter to her family all through childhood.
By the way, this little gilr is too big to be rear facing in her carseat as her feet are clearly extended past the edge of the car seat. It would be a very uncomfortable ride. Her parents are not doing the wrong thing having her face front.

Absolutely wonderful! When babies start cooing, jabbering, talking life changes for the parents for ever. This baby is so ready to tell her side of the story and I bet it is great. I don't know any parents, grandparents, aunts or uncles who don't laugh their heads off at beginning baby talk. I bet her parents were able to pick out some "words" that they hear her say all the time. Hang in their kiddo, you have the world's attention already. So cute.

This is a wonderful example of communication between a child & someone she is close enough too "talk" to. My thought is that her Mom is taking the video while her Dad is engaged in conversation with his daughter. Whatever the child is trying to say is important enough for her parents to put on video. She is a "breath of fresh air" and a blessing! It totally takes me back 34 years ago when my own precious first child spoke the same language. Thanks for the memories!

There's a 90 second video of this little girl on the "college humor dot com" site, video number 1911844. You get a much fuller sense of what Sudbird was talking about in comment #20. This is one extremely bright young lady, and being talked down to by the man (probably an uncle) definitely hurts her feelings. In the longer video, he resorts to a simple hand game called Hot Potato when he thinks that's what she's gesturing about, and she goes along with it, but her reaction to the second hot potato try by him is priceless, a fleeting smile (pitying?)which is gone as soon as it appears, and her attention shifts to her mommy up front. I'd love to spend some time with her, to be the first one to understand what she's trying to say!

The comments on this vid show a decided lack of education about language acquisition in humans. And many of you have children!
Language is not "mimicking." Only the words we learn to use are actually the result of exposure/environment...but that's not language, really. Linguistics are inborn in humans; our ability to use spoken (and gestural and written) communication is part of our biology, and this little girl is demonstrating one of the earliest stages of the expression of that biology: Advanced Babbling (yes, that's really the name). Her Broca's Area (located in the left frontal lobe) has come "online" and is driving her to practice using the muscles of the jaw, tongue, lips, and diaphragm to communicate. In a few months, she will begin to utter single words, then two-word Telegraphic Speech, and finally full sentences. She has no awareness at this point that she's "talking," and the sounds are not "words to her," nor is she copying adults' behavior.
Some of you really need to take a few classes in Linguistics, Child Development, or Developmental Psychology.

Dad was trying to take her seriously in the beginning- but how could you help laughing at this adorable girl. Too cute - don't get on dad's case. He is not laughing at her - and the title isn't insulting.

What a precious little girl. Having 4 girls myself, all but one of them them grown now, I envy this man (I choose to believe he is dad). He is trying so hard to be attentive, nodding and acknowledging, then BLAM, it hits him, this is flat out funny. She is absolutely a doll. Don't read too much into it. She is too little to be discussing anything too serious. She was just having a great conversation with daddy, maybe about going for a car ride!5

This baby girl obviously knows EXACtLY what she is saying. Look how serious she is.
My daughter who is now 8 still goes on and on exactly like this.
Appreciate that right now you can't understand it.
When she is 8, it will be about all kinds of things that you are not ready to hear, like how in LOVE with Joe jonas she is

Sorry men, but my nephew at about 2 yrs. of age did this one time in the car with my sister and myself. He finally grabbed his Mom's face and looked her straight in the eyes trying to tell her something he wanted. When we said, "We don't understand, Matt." He gave up, sat down, and put his thumb in his mouth. I said to my sister, "Who's the one who can't understand language?"

She is beautiful...bright...intelligent...and has great parents that are encouraging her to express herself...
Some folks don't think that little ones remember or understand things...not so...they understand all to well what is going on in their world of family...she definitely does...I also remember things from my childhood...like sitting outside with my cat at about this little ones age...climbing out of my crib at 9 months old...they are dreamlike memories...but I do remember them...
At any rate...this child and her family has made my day!

I have watched and rewatched this countless times already, because it is absolutely one of the most priceless videos I have ever seen. I do have to say that next time they decide to film their precious daughter, they REALLY need to do it when they're NOT going down the road with her car seat facing in a very dangerous direction for someone of that age.

#110 The car is PARKED....NOT going down the road. Oh sorry,I just noticed the "Blond" in your nick.But you aren't the only one who has failed to notice that the car never moves,there have been others.In the longer version it actually looks like the father's door is open plus the camera seems to be operated from the driver's position.

I wasn't rude in my response, so there was no reason for you to be either. It looked to me from the motion to the right that the car was moving. Now that I've rewatched it with that in mind, I can see you're right. Still, next time you might want to save your sarcasticness for someone who has really earned it.

What a precious angel! She definitely had something to say and she meant it. Won't be anytime and most likely will be talking in sentences. My daughter was very similar, she started talking in sentences at 16 months. I was shocked. By the time her 2nd birthday was rolling aroung everybody thought I had to be wrong, that there was no way she going to be turning two.

What a delightful fully human child, able to communicate on several levels. She echos in my mind my Mom, aunts, sisters, daughters, nieces,grand-daughter: it worries me to imagine she might become a 'surrendered wife' as shown on T V last night. Freedom of expression denotes a full human being.

She is extraordinary in that speech is a learned response and her mimicries reflect her intelligence that will soon blossom to sentences no doubt. Those of the nay-sayers are undoubtedly looking at the fact MANY MANY grown men lack her skill of verbal expression...so sad for most men....after all where do they live?? Under a rock!

This is one cute video clip. There are concerns about the car seat position... Do you think maybe the car was stopped just so they could video this? It would be hard to film from the drivers seat, as it seems, without them stopping. And if the the seat was in the well-known back position, it would have been filmed from outside the car through the back window.
Lets assume the parents are as sharp as the baby. And we assume your glass is half empty all the time.

This child is adorable and smart. I wonder what it would be like to slow her voice and lower her tone? She definitely knew what she was saying. It sounded as though she was telling her dad what she did that day and with her momma and their plan for the rest of the day. She's really excited about it and when dad starts to laugh doesn't understand why.Go girl!

AWE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!My heart just goes out to this child! She obviously becomes distressed when the father (?) starts laughing. She's trying her little heart out to communicate with him and seems to realize that maybe she's not doing it right.
AWE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an unbelievably intelligent child to realize that it takes many words to convey a thought (etc.) to those around her. This baby is a complete blank slate and SO ready to learn. I really, really hope those around her are reading to her in vast amounts of time as well as giving her bits and pieces of mathmatics (and I don't mean 1+1 either). If her parents read this I hope they will look up some info on the "Institute for Higher Human Potential and really give thise child the venue for learning that will match her obvious ability and desire. Good Luck! What a beautiful baby!

Don't be too sure she doesn't know exactly what she's saying. My son, when he was about that age used to say to me every night, as I left his room at bedtime.."Va va vu". I used to reply. 'Va Va Va Voom!' while wondering where he'd heard that phrase. Then one day I heard him 'singing' along with Barney...
"Va vav vu, vu vuv ee" (I love you, You love me)
Every night, my little boy was telling me "I love you" ..and I didn't know.
He's 16 now, so I'm over it..but that guilt sat with me for a very long time!

I am so glad everyone is so enjoying this video. I am Presli's Mommy. This video was taken right after her 1st birthday and she will be turning 2 in July. The clip is actually over a minute and 20 seconds long, but you have to go to America's Funniest Videos website to see it. Please give her a rating of 5 smiley faces while you are there! She has not been aired yet & is 10th most viewed of all time. (19 seasons) We are hoping that she will be aired next season which starts in the fall!
P.s. She still talks this much w/ some more actual words mixed in and quite a few real sentences. She talks more than her daddy and I put together, and I'm a shy person! Sooooo, I'm pretty sure she gets this from my mother-in-law! LOL!

Congratulations on having such an intelligent little girl. Her brain and understanding are obviously well developed. She wasn't babbling gibberish. Just sometimes language formation in the brain far exceeds the development of the muscles and nerves required to say the words. Her brain knows the words. She wasn't just repeating sounds. She was relaying important information that her brain had processed. This was not mimickry. It was conversation. Try her on reading a book. It should be easy for her in no time at all.5
153. iamheather commented 14 years ago
I agree with eileena--it does sound like she's saying "momma's talking about me", and I'll bet she's adding "don't laugh at me"! I think this kid's gonna be a preacher for Jesus! We don't need another "all talk" politician!

If my 18 month old granddaughter could talk, she'd tell us what Presli was saying. I put the video on to show my daughter and son-in-law. E. was in the other room and came running in when she heard the voice and watched and listened intently. She then had us play it again at least 10 times, laughing, clapping and jumping with glee the whole time. So whatever Presli was saying, E. understood her and it was VERY interesting and entertaining.

Yes #66 my daughter too has always been a talker. I miss hearing every detail of her school day on the ride home while she was growing up . She graduated from Harvard Law School and practices law in Chicago. An article of gratitude was just posted by an abused wife and mother that she advocated for pro-bona. Her heart is as beautiful as her ability to speak. The 'gift of gab' can be used for great things. This baby girl is headed for great things.

Yes we are... I have worked with many babies over the years and girls are wired to communicate... alot! This a scientific fact. Girls are advanced in their ability to communicate and have a higher interest in communicating with their caregivers. I remember when my daughter was this age and she would "talk back" to me when she was trying to make a point. If only I knew what she was saying!

Actually I have the ability to understand pre-speech. The baby is actually making a case for not sitting in the back seat of the car in the baby seat. She is quoting the example of 2 or 3 friends of hers that travel unrestricted and are still alive. She is questioning her father's decision to obey the law rather than allow her to sit in the front seat, like her Mom does.

This baby is absolutely adoreable! She obviously is well socialized and is ready to start speaking in English. She knows exactly what she's saying and is intent upon making her thoughts known. I laughed so hard when I saw this. She is the cutest little talker. I wish there was more video of her. She's intelligent and very articulate expressing her thoughts. She is so precious. This baby is a gift from God and I look at her whenever I need to be cheered up. I would like to see her progress throughout her life and hear what she has to say. Besides being visually cute, she's also cute to hear. How old is she? Could anyone make a guess? She's advanced for her age. You can hear her say,"Momma," so she's telling something about her mother. Her tone of voice and look on her face changes when the man next to her begins to laugh. She mst be thinking, "What's the matter with him when I'm telling him all this stuff?" Bet she could learn a foreign language in no time! Absolutely priceless!

She was in a front facing car seat because in Texas babies can be turned around to the front once they are 1 year old and weigh at least 20 lbs. Which she did. We had stopped by her daddy's business to tell him about her play date we just left. Some of you did pick out the word momma in her jibberish, but she also says banana.

Why do people have to get so pickin' touching and sensitive over a cute little video, and make into such a big deal? Stop trying to make everything into some politically violated something.
Take a breath, watch it again, watch the look of the dad's enjoyment in his daughter, listen to the enjoyment in the mom's laughter, and then let it go for what it is. Parent's getting the hugest kick out of a little that they are thoroughly enjoying. Even if it's "doctored" as I think the very first poster is suggesting, it's absolutely adorable. Just watch it for what it is... a laugh, and enjoyment in little kids.
The parents obviously thought she was adorable; they wouldn't have posted it otherwise.

The comments about dad laughing and her reaction to it do bring up a good point. But I don't think he's laughing at her as in making fun of her. My baby girl does stuff that we find incredibly adorable and we get so overwhelmed with joy that sometimes it results in laughter. And sometimes for me, even tears of utter joy. I know I make an incredibly ugly face when I cry, even happy tears, and I every time I do it I really hope that I am not communicating something to her unintentionally. I can only hope she feels the overwhelming love that is overflowing out through laughter and happy tears. Fun video!

my daughter is now 28 years old but I can still remember her doing the same thing. She was about the same age as this baby, she would come out of her bedroom and stand in front of you and start with the "baby talk" she would also use her hands to talk and move her head as if she was trying to make a point. She gave us many many laughs for about 5 or 6 months then all of a sudden she started talk in full sentences and have an intelligent conversation with you about almost anything. It's too bad we never has access to a video camera then.

My mother and I just had to laugh, not only because it was cute, because it reminded her of myself. I used to do the same thing. They always told me that I had my own language, but I never believed them.

I just think women are more verbal than men. My dad always said he could not talk as fast as I did if he tried. One day, after she hung up the phone, my grandmother said her jaw hurt from talking for so long. I was just a kid and I said, "I know what you mean, Grandma, sometimes my jaw aches when I talk for a long time." My father almost fell over from laughting. He declared that he had never heard anyone say that before, and in his entire life he never talked enough to cause his jaw to ache. He laughed for several minutes.

This is priceless. Gives hope for the young generation in communication. What great parents you must be to appreciate and capture your very smart and sensitive little girls moment. I smile every time I think of it. I thought it had to be dubbed because her talking is so perfectly controlled and real. Hope you win. You've certainly got my vote.

This is a smart little girl! Shame on those guys who talk of women being annoying and the whole tone thing...maybe if women are so annoying, well you know where I am going with that! My daughter would do something similar to that when she was younger, we would say "what" a couple times and she would get annoyed and say "oh nevermind" with such conviction...precious! Children are a blessing, it is beautiful to see one that will eventually be in control of all those men that are annoyed with what she has to say!2

She's saying turn my carseat around! I should be rear facing until im 35lbs! Keep me safe mommy and daddy! I know you love me!.... and it is perfectly safe for their feet to touch the back of the seat when in a rear facing position. It has never been known to break legs or hips when in an accident. But what would you rather mend broken legs or a broken neck? You even went out and bought one of the most expensive carseats, so you must want to keep your daughter safe...right? Do the right thing. You'll be happy you did!

This is absolutely adorible. My daughter is close to her age and she is starting to talk gibberish but not like this litle girl. How could you not giggle at this. I have watched a dozen times. Completely made my night. To comment #220. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics: Children 1 year of age and at least 20 pounds can ride forward-facing. Funny when people try to comment and judge on something they don't know the facts about.

Oh for heaven's sake csmutz2001 ...get a life...don't you think the parents know that? I'm sure they were just trying to share this little darling with us all. I didn't see the car moving.
To the parents, thank you for allowing us to enjoy this precious child...she made my day and I've shared this with others....no doubt she'll be replacing Oprah someday....she could probably do it now. She's beyond ADORABLE..I'm sure she brings a lot of joy to your lives.
You should be proud...this child will always open up to you and tell you what she thinks (watch out daddy)...I "think" she just did...lol
Does she need another grandma? I have 8 but would love to add her to my gang.
Thank you and PLEASE keep us up to date with this little chatter box.
I want to see more BUT... make sure the "car seat" is in the right position so you won't upset the "critics".

Don't ya just hate it when you're trying to tell a joke and they start laughing before you get to the punch line.This little girl definitely reacted to her daddy when he started laughing. Nothing wrong with him laughing, shoot it was funny, but it is really interesting to guess what she was thinking. That look comes over her face (of course she doesn't even slow down talking) and I have to wonder, what was that look ? What did that just mean ?
I sometimes experience the same thing with my wife.

If you were born in many of the Asian countries you would say she lived before. There are many books written right here in the states about reincarnation and memories fade after approximately six or seven years of age. It's not impossible. But most Americans just snub the idea. Before you
judge, read just a little bit about reincarnation.

when I readed the comment #88, I hope she or he stops writting "talk too much" on the report card. And don't laugh in front of her. You don't know how much it hurts her feeling. I was the one. I started talking less and less after "talk too much in the class" on the report card when I was at the elementary school. I talk less that doesn't mean I got more attention in the class. I had lost interest in the class. Because I talk less and less, I don't know how to fight for my right by verbal now.The more she talks,the greater she will. Just lead her read more books,listen to her and talk to her. Explain to her what's right and what's wrong. The people who likes to talk is more happy, healthier (mind) than the quiet one I believe.

Excellent video. It's obvious that her parents love and inspire her by their actions (Dad obviously shaking his head in approval, smiling, letting her know she is valuable and what she has to say is important and even somewhat comical to him ... which perplexes her). Brilliant young lady...because she has brilliant parent

No, I wouldn't attribute her blathering as a female form of incompetence. This child is probably gifted, musically. My mom told me that I mocked the rhythm and pitches of my grand parents and relatives around me, mocked them accurately and sounded rather similar to this, at 6 months old. By nine I was able to replay mozrt concertos on the french horn from memory. So don't knock it. Maybe this is a strength and not something to defined and hated by men.Bye

248. LadysWeb commented 14 years ago
Uhm, personally I think this is a serious matter and she is mimicing what she hears from her parents, and like many couples they argue about never having enough money...
To me, it sounds as if she might be repeating herself some. You can clearly hear her saying, 'Momma', and then (what I heard was), 'we never have enough money' 'what about ..?..', and she goes on with, '... to buy me' & 'talking about me' and 'what about me' too. She is SO serious about this matter, and when the father (?) looks away laughing she cannot believe he's not 'doing something' to correct this issue! It's as if she is shocked and finds herself misunderstood, so to her dismay, she has to repeat herself again in order to get HER message across, to him (so with hopes he might fix, or find a resolution to 'her' problem!
Does anyone else hear the same thing as I did...?
Ooh and for the record, I do not agree with MJR53, (or #32), when he/she writes (and I quote "Any similarity it may bear to a known language as regards sentence constructs, intonations, syntax, et.al., are coincidental." I do not find this young ladys gibberish language to be coincidental. She simply mimics (whether it's understood, or not), what she often hears from those around her!

What a cutie! I love it! Whether it's baby gibberish, right brain issues or getting ready for her future conversations, one thing remains the same. Listen to the women who assumably is driving. When the man begins to laugh at the baby while gibbering, mommy tells daddy to "let her finish"! Ladies we will always have to remind men to let us finish talking!! One for mom! And thanks dad for letting her finish.

This was http://www.snotr.com/images/smilies/smile.gifso nice, thank you for sharing it! My daughter was just like her when she was of the same age and it sounded just like our language - Norwegian - but we could hardly recognize any words in the beginning. She was just as serious as this wonderful little girl.
An interesting thing though, she very early kept on saying the word: "bokhylla" which means book-shelf...we used to read a lot to her and she has turned out to be an avid reader herself. I agree with #248 who wrote:

She is absolutely adorable! Can you imagine how cute she's going to be two years from now? I think it would be wonderful if her speech could somehow be slowed down, because I believe she has spoken some actual words. I've listened three times and it sounds as though the word "mama" comes through clearly. I've been around quite a few babies, but I've never heard one so determined to have a "voice."

The comments are sometimes more interesting than the delightful video. 250- DRalph - do you have something to hide? (and others)
My daughter was similar except she used sign language to begin with and could communicate without words. Now she is a musician, very articulate and a wonderful, perceptive individual.
You go little one and tell the world - hopefully they will listen to you!

Babies speak to us long before they can talk coherently, whether it's with hand gestures or their attempt at words. She is not just mimicking babble that she has heard before. She obviously thinks she is telling a story, and their attentiveness is important to her. Listen ..... her mom even comments on her reaction when the dad looks away laughing: "you're laughing at her serious story". Great video.

#33 and #35 - I agree with #31, 40, 41. She seems to be a bright little girl, however, she is a baby and adorable. Obviously neither #33 or #35 are parents, at least happy parents. #35 needs to be careful of what he says. President Obama does not read a speech that he does not have input to it. Also, he is a great speaker. Obviously, you got a real "kick" when the former president George Bush made his speeches. Understandably, because if you do not think the little baby, like I said, little baby was not adorable, you definitely have a problem. #31 and #37 sums it just right.

This is perfect! I have been wanting to record a baby at that age in every language. I have always maintained that they talk without words in the rhythms and music of their mother tongue. They first learn the music. Then come the words. It's at about 16 to 18 months that I have noticed this happening.If you record a French baby doing the same exact thing, he or she (mostly she) will sound as though they are speaking French the way this child sounds like she is speaking American English. In other words, (ahem!) we learn language the way we learn a song with lyrics. First the tune. Then the words. I am a language teacher. Currently, we teach foreign languages backwards. First the words (and the grammar!) and then the tune. And everybody ends up with an accent because they never learned the tune first. If you are interested in our making progress in language instruction, please contact me. suzeparis@gmail.com. Thanks. Suzanne White

This little lady is adorable and obviously very verbally skilled in her developing linguistics.
And yes, the video is hysterical, and no doubt reminds us of someone rattling on beyond comprehension, but there's no need to be belittling, comparing her to all females or someone you feel contempt for.
As it turns out, I've known a fair number of females that are quiet, and just as many males that go on and on, narrating their every thought too.

Nicely captured video. Truly a great joy for mom and dad. Adorable child obviously mimicking them well and has the desire to communicate. A fact: Our daughter repeated what she heard at four (4) months old. She is now a graduate of more than one degree and working on another, well adjusted and sociable adult. As for you guys out there "Behind every successful man there's a woman" and each one of those women probably communicate quite well as does the baby in the video.
If you don't understand what the baby is saying its mostly because you're not listening. Her dad understands every word of it, he's obviously a great guy.

#261 So you feel Obama is a great speaker? Don't put too much stock in what his teleprompter tells him to say,watch what he DOES and HAS done. He is a Saul Alinsky devotee and a socialist to the bone. Much of his former support has evaporated in the wake of his lies and bumbling indecisions. I think most Americans are realizing they made a big mistake in the last election.He has insulted the leaders of some of the European countries and infuriated the Israelis while kowtowing to his Muslim friends.....sickening.
