From Monosyllabic Babbling to Speaking Turkish Overnight

Just yesterday, Ollie was babbling in the way that he always has up to this point. Stuff like:

Gaah Gaah
Maah Maah
Daah Daah
Mmmm Mmmm
Nnnn Nnnn
Baah Baah
Paah Paah
Naah Naah
Kaah Kaah
Lots of raspberries
Tongue clucking
Lip smacking

And today, it's like he turned a corner...it's like he's speaking another language. Stuff like:

Galaga Kaboobaah Keepmyee Laps
Baahmaah Teepeek Eek Aahsa Paah Sah
Shhhaas Tah Ka Epoot Ahkaka Supp

Turkish, perhaps? (Not that we've ever heard Turkish.) Could be a Native American dialect? (Ollie is part Cherokee, after all...just 1/32, but still!)

And, more importantly, WHAT IS HE TRYING TO TELL US?!

Well, "teepeek" (tipik) is a Turkish word, and some of the others kinda sound "Turki-ish"...is he onto something here? Gotta listen to the ORIGINAL recording though to verify. This kid can't possibly learn Turkish before I do. My fiancée would be "antisapointed" :P
