Allow me to tell you how smart my baby is. Yesterday we stopped by the doctor's office and she was in the kids' corner, then she runs up to me shouting "Bap, bap" and hands me a puzzle piece of a duck. Just now she brought me a toy kitten saying "Ow". She also knows dogs say "Oof, oof" and cows say "Boo". I'm not sure how to spell what dinosaurs say, it's not "Roar" but it's the same thing every time. ...OK, so we need to work on consonants but she's got the idea and the vowels are right. Plus it's not like we
work on these things every day, just whenever they come up so I'm pleased. She actually talks quite a lot for an 18-month-old - at least I think so - Hayden and Meredith talk a lot too so it will be MANY years before I get any peace and quiet at home.
