The baby is 18 months on the 11th of Feb and he has 3 word sentences now.
I was just amazed as I asked him Friday am if he had fun with grandma
last night? he replied and said "No, sit rock" Meaning grandma
rocked him all night. I know grandma had fun as she just had 1, the
other 3 were with me.
Also, I asked who is poopy? He replied and said "baby is" and he was!
He has lots of 2 word combinations, Hi Daddy , Hi Mommy- water now,
here, there etc..., can name all of his sibs, and attempts a lot of words.
There is a HUGE language explosion around 15 months and then again
around 2yrs old. It is so fun that he is experiencing it, unlike his
older 2 brothers.
I would push on the young couple as I was a young mom the first time
and didn't know to even be concerned.
Also the earlier therapy starts the better. #3 started therapy at 2yrs
old and is now 3 and close to being discharged - hopefully July.
#2 started at 3 yrs old and has at least 2 more years. We have already
completed 2 yrs UGH
#4 18 months - is just along for the ride and talking up a storm! He
attempted Cell phone the other day.
#1 is a wonderful high maintenance neuro-typical girl.
