Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At two months old, Penny is most likely cooing, which is a precursor to babbling. Cooing involves making vowel-like noises and vocalizations, while in babbling, infants combine vowel and consonant sounds. Telegraphic speech refers to the early two-word phrases children use, such as "more milk," and child-directed speech is the modification of language used by adults when speaking to children (such as using a higher pitch and simpler vocabulary).
