googoo
Baby's first sounds
Googoo is babytalk—the nonsense syllables adults use when cooing at infants, or the sounds babies themselves make before acquiring language.
The reduplicated syllables mimic early infant vocalizations: She was making googoo noises at the baby.
Often paired with gaga in the phrase googoo gaga, suggesting infantile or besotted behavior.
