    Look at all those words! what a smart baby. Speaking of, I’m really curious as to how baby means baby and computer. Are you two cuddling your laptops?

      Hi Courtney!!! Well, we do cuddle our laptops far too often, but originally Mateo said “baby” for computer because he played a game called “Baby Smash” on it. Basically, he smashes the keyboard and different brightly colored letters and shapes (complete with sound effects) pop on the screen. Saying “baby” to refer to an actual baby was actually came second!
