Birth to three: Communication and Language When I am a baby… • I like to babble. I use sounds like ‘baba and ‘mamama’. • I use gestures like waving and pointing to communicate. • When I want something, I reach or point while making sounds. • I like to copy your gestures and words. • I babble all the time and use single words when I am playing. • When I am ‘talking’ I change my intonation, pitch and volume. • Wait for me to communicate with a sound, a look or with words. This helps me to lead the conversation.
