Acappella Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hi. Sorry I've been absent so long. Computer crashed and burned right before the holidays and I've just gotten it back. Missed reading the posts here! The reason for this post is a McCain's commercial for their new slow cooker meal kits. If you and your baby watch TV together be fast with the mute button if you see this ad: Mother comes home & walks by teen daughter on phone with friend. Daughter say "hi, call me when dinner's ready." Mother walks out of room, walks right back in through other door and says "dinner's ready" Daughter screams! You must hit mute before the scream. Dorian saw this once and picked it as his new favourite sound! My only hope is that he cycles through new sounds pretty fast if he doesn't get any big reaction.

judygram Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Oh my the sounds they pick up, and yes they pick the most obnoxious ones at that. Your only hope is he tires of it fast and be sure to ignore it when he does say it for if you give some kind of reaction he may keep it up for the entertainment it provides him. LOL Sorry about the crash and burn, it happens but glad you are back now and ready for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Welcome back from the crash Acappella!! I will certainly watch out for the commercial. Now I'm wondering, with all the movies Dayo watches intently with us and the Surround Sound going, What obnoxious sounds he may pick up. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I'm sure you will soon find that out Dan, you are in for a treat.:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acappella Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Another new sound Dorian loves he picked up from my elderly father who, when he needs me to do something, stands in the kitchen and yells "Hey". Well, Dorian's version has earned him the new nickname 'bossy feathers':laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 nice to have you back Acappella ,& what a funny story :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Well, Dayo just said his first word very clearly today and in My voice ((((beaming)))) it was "Hello". So atleast it wasn't something movie related, as I was starting to worry about after Acappellas experience. :-) He mumbles several sentences and words while he is "Calibrating" them and we believe we know what he is saying, but are waiting for the day when we hear the "Final" product before we claim he is saying something like the entire theory of relativity ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I knew it, I just knew it would be shortly that we would learn that Dayo was talking and his first word is Hello, and I know you are as proud as pudding, congrats Dan!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siobha9 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Congratulations Dan! That is so exciting. Liath still doesnt say ANYTHING in my voice. I am sooo jealous!:sick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deedee Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 yes the sreaming is annoying as pepsi is very good at it but her faze at the moment is the shooting off call of duty 4 xbox game everytime u pass the cage you get shot off her lol:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nychsa Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Yah Dayo! Boy you got lucky there! I bet he's saving the spicey language for just the right moment like when a dinner party is in the works! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 LOL - You all - Yes, now the fun and WORRIES begin of what I MAY have uttered from time to time. Then of course there are my evil gran children. We caught one the other day telling Dayo "Austin is a Brat.....Austin is a Brat" :blink: That's all I need is to have guests hear something "I" never said.....could be very embarrassing, to say the least. I guess the saving grace though, is they imitate the persons voice they learned it from :woohoo: :silly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acappella Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Congrats on Dayo's first word. It's so exciting when your grey says something you know for sure he learned from you. Makes the bond between you even stronger. Can't wait to hear what he choses to say next! Dorian also just started saying hello in my voice this week. He's still 'rehearsing' my cat, Jac's, meow. Right now it sounds more like someone strangling a cat! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazyAK Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 One day I left the house for 5 hours and put the TV on an "Andy of Mayberry" marathon. When I got home she could whistle the whole theme song. Now it's her favorite song and now my least favorite.

Toni Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Alcazar picked up on my daycare baby's cry, now I cant tell if its the baby crying or Alcazar. oh an its the high pitched cry more like a scream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 LOL - Acappella, Mazy and Toni, these guys are certainly characters aren't they? I have a sound recording of the entire Mayberry whistle song. I have played it over and over for the last 2 weekends. So far, Dayo puts in three or four notes of it while doing his " whistle grumble, click, clock and noise effect I know" half hour concerto. :-) I'm sure your Greys all do the same at different times of the day. :-) It's entertaining to say the least. Sometimes, I just can't help but laugh at the experimental combinations. :woohoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acappella Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 I put my voice recording mp3 player in a niche above Dorian's cage one day when he was really on a roll 'cause nobody believes me when I try to describe exactly how vocal he gets. It's sooo hilarious, I'm thinking of taking all the various versions of 'hello' that he said and making it my new answering machine message. OMG, :ohmy: I'm becoming one of those annoying people who put their todler's talking on their voice mail lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
