I know I keep saying tinyest's language is exploding. but hes now repeating almost all words said to him (or trying to anyway). He can now say "if you say so" and uses 2 words together pretty frequently. Sadly its "daddy, no" a lot of the time. But hes also become a lot less stingy with his hugs. And you best be prepared cause sometimes they are surprise hugs.

Once kids start talking, it's great!!! You're in for a good time.

A warning, kids have no filter. They say exactly what they see.

him being able to communicate needs (or wants) makes life so much easier!

can let you know more as he develops. Still remember the day I finally told the DT that we were pregnant. Feels like weeks ago, not years.

Tell me about it. My kid's 18 in 2 months. Time flies.

One of my boys is a real talker. He's at the same stage saying things like "this is mine", "See you later", and "see you tomorrow". My girlfriend asked him what I do at work and he said "Helping old people" because that's what she says to him when I go do my tech support sessions.
