ls "Caro, Caro," in his hearing,
he looks about him as if he were looking for the dog. In the
tenth month he often repeats _Pap-ba_, but it has no
significance.

If "Backe backe kuchen" ("bake cakes," corresponding to our

"pat-a-cake") is said to him, he immediately pats his hands as
if preparing bread for baking. In the eleventh month _Pap-ba_ is
dropped. He now says often _daedaedaedae_, and, when he is dull or
excited (_erregt_) or sleepy, _drin, drin_. These _r_-sounds do
not occur with my daughter; but since her tenth month she uses
_m_-sounds, _maemmae_ when she is sleepy or dull. The boy now
stretches out his hand and beckons when he sees any one at a
distance. At sight of anything new, he no longer says _oe_, but
_aeda_ (twelfth month). He likes to imitate gestures with his
arms and mouth; he observes attentively the _movements of the
lips of one who is speaking_, sometimes _touching_ at the same
time the _mouth of the speaker with his finger_.

At ten months the first teeth came. In the eleventh month the
child was for the first time taken out into the open air. Now
the _g_-sounds again become prominent--_aga_, _ga_, _gugag_. The
child begins to creep, but often falls, and while making his
toilsome efforts keeps crying out in a very comical manner,
_aech, aech, aech!_

At eleven and a half months a great advance. The child is now
much out of doors, and enjoys seeing horses, cows, hens, and
ducks. When he sees the hens he says _gog, gog_, and even utters
some croaking sounds. He can also imitate at once the sound
_prrr_ when it is pronounced to him. If _papa_ is pronounced for
him (he has lost this word), he responds regularly _wawa_ or
_wawawa_. I have only once heard _wauwau_ from him. If he hears
anybody cough, he immediately gives a little imitative cough in
fun (vol. i, p. 288), and this sounds very comical.

He makes much use of _od_, _aedo_, and _aed_, and this also when
he sees pictures. When the boy had reached the age of a year, he
was weaned; from that time his mental development was very
rapid. If any one sings to him gi ga gack, he responds
invariably _gack_.

He begins to adapt sounds to objects: imitation of sound is the
chief basis of this adaptation. He calls the ducks with _gaek,
gaek_, and imitates the cock, after a fashion, names
