Fergie's baby son has started talking.

The Black Eyed Peas frontwoman has revealed seven-month-old Axl Jack - her first child with husband Josh Duhamel - is beginning to experiment with words.

Fergie explained to E! News: " He's actually talking now--well, formulating what he thinks are words. We're just kind of trying to figure it out. He keeps saying, 'Ba, ba', we think it's ball. He says it when the ball's around so we're thinking first word, ball - maybe?

"He also says, 'Ma ma ma'. I don't know if he's directing it towards me, but I'm thinking mama."

The 39-year-old singer recently admitted she and Josh, who got married in January 2009, have been trying to teach the cute tot little easy words.

She said last month: "The best part of being a mum is just hanging out with my kid. He's my homie! I'm just listening, talking back with him and trying to teach him words like 'nose' and 'dancing'. Daddy is trying to teach him 'ball' and I'm trying to teach him 'dance'."

Axl has also been using "high-pitched" squeals to get his parents attention and express when he's excited.

Fergie explained: "He's a screamer! There's always this high-pitched scream going throughout the house. It's not him complaining or crying. He just gets excited and he wants to scream!"
