Aidan is "cooing" up a storm. When he speaks he uses a soft voice and he is playing with combining different sounds, most of which are inaudible. He has been saying "ao", which means blue in Japanese. "Ah-goo" is quickly coming in as the 2nd most popular sound heard from Aidan. I have also heard some "u" and "wo" but no "e" sounds yet.
Japanese trivia: Japanese refer to the green light on traffic lights as "ao". Some dictionaries state that "ao" means blue or green but "midori" is used for green in all other situations.

Hi there!
I've just google it since I did not know the answer. According to the web site called ALC, it's because a newspaper wrote the first traffic green light in blue "AO" even if it was literally green in 1930. Since then, calling a green light "AO" became common for people although the law for standardizing the name of green light has issued in 1947. Generally, a range of blue "AO" indication against objects is quite wide; for instance, we sometimes call a green apple "AOI RINGO". Isn't it funny, hah?
