BABBU

Every toddler invents their own language. Babbu is my daughter Matilda's word for ball. By the time she says it correctly, I'll have already forgotten how it sounded.

Babbu is a private dictionary for the words only your child says, the mispronunciations, the invented names, the sounds that make sense to no one but you. No social features. No accounts. Just a growing archive of a specific, unrepeatable moment in your child's life.
