Time To Talk

About 3 weeks ago you started to talk. I knew you were going to be a late starter, but hadn't started to worry. I figured that because you were such a physical child you might start speaking later, but you were doing so well at signing that I knew you were going to be fine. You were associating things with the signs and almost every day gained more understanding about what the signs meant. In fact, it's been awesome to watch you begin to understand the world around you.

Your words aren't really clear yet, they don't sound like the words as an adult would say them, but your dad and I know what you mean.

1. Isbre (Isbe)
2. dog (woof woof)
3. mama
4. dada (sometimes daddy)
5. belly button (beba)
