Well, David has been very slow to talk, which worried this over-talkative mother! :)
We had him evaluated at 18months by Early Intervention and were told that he was right on track developmentally and that he would eventually talk when he was ready. Whew, a relief!
So, when we went to the beach, the first week of July, he finally started saying "Ma" and "MaMa" and it did my heart good!!!
He's been pretty good at sign language these past few months also, signing 'more,' 'thank you,' 'please' and a few more signs.
So just last week, he's exploded with the 'B' words. His first word, other than 'mama' and 'da' is 'baby.' He also just recently learned the sign and says and signs 'baby.' It's so cute!! Think he wants one? I think I do! :) Also, his first animal noise was 'Ooo, ooo, ooo' for a monkey.
So, we moved from 'baby' to 'bye' and 'boo.' Just yesterday, he pointed to a bruise on his leg and said, 'boo' kind of sad-like. So, I'm thinking he means 'boo-boo.' Adorable!! He's also saying his versions of 'bath' and 'ball.' Another new one is 'mo' which means more, which was the first sign he learned.
Today, he is trying to say 'bird' and is flapping his arms and saying 'tweet.' It's just amazing how it's all spilling out!
It's really getting to be fun around here, trying to determine what he's telling us and we're so happy that the words are finally coming!!
