Top things that fascinates the baby #ParentTalks #BabyTalks

You bought an expensive toy from Hamley’s for your little baby. And you are thrilled that it will entertain her and that she will love it. Its later that you realise how uninterested she is in it. Babies seem to be loving the random-est of all things. Its so funny to hear them baby talking, coo-ing, gurgling and giggling at things you don’t even care about. Here are the top 8 things that fascinates the baby more than that expensive toy you just bought.

1. Fan

It goes round and round, and its your babys’ first love. They love the fan, irrespective of which brand it belongs to. You might want to start their day by saying “Chalo beta, tell your fan good morning!”.

2. Curtains

It might not have been washed in a year. It might have faded. It might have holes. And it might even not look bright or attractive. But mind it, this is what your baby loves!

3. Lights

All kinds of lights. Be it the home tube lights or lights in their toys or the street lights on the road. Babies love lights and this one will surely help you ease their crankiness.

4. Ceiling

Since they keep staring at it in their initial few months, there is a bond between the baby and the ceiling. Again, the baby is unbiased, and loves it the way it is. The baby accepts the ceiling in all its flaws – water seepage, colour fade, cracks and spots – everything.

5. Wall clock

I feel it’s the ticking or the hands of the clock that catch their attention. Whatever it is, its ok till the time the baby is happy!

6. Teeth

Obviously you have taken the baby in your hands and made weird noises, and tried to talk to them in goo-goos and ga-gas. And they would have responded well too, with their endearing smile. But don’t be mistaken that they are understanding your silly talk. They are just simply getting amused by your teeth. Ensure you brush well before talking with the baby!

7. Photo frames

Not that they can make much sense of who’s who in the photo frame, but then who cares till the time the baby likes it. I feel that the baby thinks that she can talk with the photos. Let her be in that misconception if that’s keeping her happy. Right?

8. Clothes hanging behind the door

Especially when you close the door and the clothes that are hanging behind start flying like flags. Continue to keep them hanging till it amuses the baby.
