Paco speaks!

[Xtreme575]

Woohoo! I'm so excited! Last week when the forum was down I began to notice that Paco was really starting to make noises that I hadn't heard before. I was keeping it to myself, because I was thinking it might be a false start, we've had a few, where he has said words, but it was almost an accident, and then I got nothing further.

 

However, all week I've been noticing an increase in his vocalizations, both in volume, and variety of what he has been saying. He also started to make a "Haallo" noise, but it sounded more like a wimpering puppy than anything else.

 

However, yesterday I decided to sleep in a bit, at around 8 I was awakened by a clear, "Hello, hello, hellow, Paco, Paco, Paco". Again, worried that it might be a false start, I've kept mum on this.

 

I've been home all day, and he has been saying "Hello" clear as I say it all day! I'm so excited!!! I am still a little stunned by the plethora of other noises that he started doing as well. I can't help but wonder if learning to mimic also opens up another area of noises that they hadn't yet discovered???

 

I'm trying to just enjoy this new ability he has found, but my God!!! The volume with all his other noises is not to be believed! I'm trying to ignore it, but it's as though a knife is going through my head!!!
