What'd He Say?

Cousin Alex (16 months old) is not using many "real" words yet, but he babbles very convincingly. He is so serious about whatever he thinks he's saying. It reminds me of that part in "Blazing Saddles" where the governor's croonies all mutter "hurrumph, hurrumph, hurrumph."

Henry happened to be visiting while Oma was babysitting Alex, and Alex was going on and on about something indecipherable. Oma was responding with, "Oh, yeah?" "really?" and things like that, which really confused Henry. He asked her, "Oma, do you speak Alex?"
