My son's first words were in Spanish! I kid you not. We don't live in an hispanic area, nor do we have spanish toys, tv shows, friends, etc. We didn't even watch Sesame Street at the time and he would say all these Spanish words but not English. My husband and I didn't know much spanish (just from high school classes) and had to look the words up! Very strange. He stopped doing that and speaks English now but that was definitely eerie for a while. He still says "agua" for water on occasion. I do believe in reincarnation think he must have been Latin or something in his last life.
Anyone have similar stories?!

No I don't have any Spanish-speaking people/help. Nothing!! We didn't watch Sesame street at the time and did not have any baby sitters other than my parents (who did not watch TV with him or have any Spanish toys either!!!)

Amazing though this is, children spontaneously speaking in foreign languages is not that uncommon. If you haven't checked out this website, you should:

You might want to educate yourself on how to gently persuade your son to recall details from his prior incarnation. When he's older, this is information he may want to know.

No, but I would guess your baby may have picked it up from the radio or TV. I have noticed there are a lot of programs now being broadcast in Spanish. Also, the language is a little easier to learn and pronounce than English.
That does not mean it is not possible that he is not a reincarnation of someone else.
On a side note, Would you take a look at about 8 - 10 minutes of this interview with Professor Steven Jones. It's a 45 minute video and well worth looking at, to its end. At the very least, pass it on to those you care about.

There must be a cause. Does he have friends who he plays with? Maybe just the Sesame Street he saw on TV?
Whether or not you believe in reincarnation, a baby learns words completely from his environment. It's really not possible any other way. So it might be a coincidence that his normal 'babbling' sounds like Spanish, or as I say he's picked it up from somewhere that you can't remember or don't know about.
Interesting story, though.

Your kid may be tricked by a hispanic in the neighborhood for a baby bottle of water and raped in a bush by the very man. Sad but true..

A friend of mine had a son who did that as well. I found a book about it once - will see if I can find it ...
