Baby Talk


So my babe Dawsyn doesn't talk much. She makes some funny non-verbal grunting, throaty kinds of noises but doesn't say much. I was feeling a little concerned about it because she is behind developmentally where she should be for speech but even more that she doesn't even try to make noises or say anything. She is 18 months now so she should be making a few different noises. She even used to say Mama and Dada but had stopped doing that.

Well she has just had a breakthrough this week. I was coaxing her to say Mama again and after a week of working hard on it she began to say it again. Since then she is at least trying to say words. She still hasn't gained new sounds but is so cute to try and say things. She says Mama, Dada, Bye-bye, Knock-knock, gock (for sock), she even said something that sounded like 'who's there' (the girls tell a lot of knock-knock jokes) it was so amazing. I have been so excited about her making some progress. She has always made different intonations that copy the way that our words are said, so it is cute to hear her now trying to say some verbal sounds with it as well. I am really so excited to hear her. It is so wonderful, a babies first little words!

My darling baby! 18 months has gone by in the blink of an eye!
