Hear from Mum and Dad to see what their guesses are:
Crack the code from these 4 riddles to reveal the baby’s gender!
Before I can walk, I learn to babble,
With shaky steps and tiny scrabble.
A single candle marks my start,
Of first real words and growing heart.
What number marks this tender year,
When “mama” or “ball” you first might hear?
Hint: “It’s the age when most first words are spoken.”
A family feast with sides and spice,
You reach the tray — oh, wouldn’t it be nice.
But all that’s left is bone and box,
The meat is gone, like vanished socks.
In pieces left for you to score,
Count what’s there… or maybe less than more.
Hint: “You were too slow — and they were hungry.”
A chubby hand reaches out with glee,
“Chi-kin!” you say, so proud and free.
One crispy piece you boldly claim,
Your very first word for this tasty name.
How many pieces did you hold that day?
Hint: “Just one bite, just one word — both unforgettable”
By now your words flow clear and fast,
The lisps and blends are in the past.
You tell full tales with plot and flair,
With jokes and rhymes and wild fanfare.
At what age do most experts rate,
That all speech sounds should articulate?
Hint: “It’s the upper age limit for sound development milestones in SLP.”
