I think one of th...Of course he's talking! :-)<br /><br />I think one of the hardest things about being a parent is 'rolling with it'. Not comparing (not that you are). Not double and triple checking every milestone/guideline/etc. All kids are different. Each one has his or her own internal clock.<br /><br />Even now, one of the things I love most about BB is that he won't try something unless he can do it. He doesn't practice things. He thinks about them and once he's confident that he can do them, he does. He was like that with talking. He didn't know a few words and build. It was like, one day he couldn't talk and the next he could! He was watching and listening and learning; when he felt ready, he jumped in! But that personality is different than a lot of kids. Others practice and gradually improve. It's not a black and white process.<br /><br />Another example, walking a balance beam. BB didn't want to do it unless he could. He watched. He learned. He mentally processed. And then he did it first time through. Not better than other kids, just different.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414499510670559508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31637068.post-28631314416351341892013-08-22T14:57:33.210-07:002013-08-22T14:57:33.210-07:00No way,
"They say by two they should know 75...No way,<br /><br />"They say by two they should know 75-200 words and phrases."<br /><br />That's a lot of words. Maybe they should 'know' those words, meaning you say "where are your shoes" and they point or go get them, but to say that many words at 2? No way. That's probably a genius kid. ;) <br /><br />I think Henry sounds like he's speaking amazing for his age. I don't even keep track of Vincent's words. We do hear a new word sometimes and say "Hey, I think he said ____". Ha. Poor 3rd kid. He'll talk when he's ready. For now, I'm okay that 90% of the time it's "Mamamamamamama" or "Car!!!!".
