Babbling is the repetition of consonant and vowel sounds, often in a random order, and is a common developmental milestone in infants. Cooing refers to the production of vowel-like sounds, such as "ooo" or "ahh". Overextension and underextension refer to errors in language learning, where a child either overgeneralizes a word's meaning to apply it to too many things (overextension) or applies it only to a narrow range of things when it should be more broadly applicable (underextension). These concepts do not apply to the given scenario, where the baby is simply babbling.
