Nicole Richie's daughter a genius (according to Grandma)
Categories: Newborns, Development, Celeb parenting
Harlow Madden, daughter of Nicole Richie and singer Joel Madden might only be three months old, but her proud grandma is convinced the baby is acquiring skills at a lightening speed.
Brenda Richie told US magazine, "The other day I was holding her, and Harlow said, 'Hi!'" She also said that the little prodigy is already trying to crawl.
It's not uncommon for proud family members to embellish a new baby's brilliance just a wee bit. However Nicole Richie, is apparently is able to discriminate between random sounds and true speech and said, "I don't think she (Harlow) knew what she was saying!"
Three-month-olds make all sorts of wonderful babbling sounds which are easily interpreted as real words by parents revealing in something other than wails coming out of their offspring. If you know to listen for the "I love you" in the following YouTube, it sort of sounds like that's what the baby is saying, but without being able to see the scroll on the bottom you get very different translations. It's fun to test out by sharing it with illiterate children or people who can't see the screen.
People in my house heard: "I have a headache", "How are you" and "I want blue." What do you hear hear? Do you think your baby is (or was) an early talking genius?

This reminds me of a day or two after one of ours was born and my mom was convinced that she was smiling as she talked to her. It was probably gas, but she enjoyed telling her friends at work that her grandbaby was already smiling at her.
