Little J is being declaried speech delayed
At two we have fewer then five words! Lots of babble and sounds. Dogs are ruff-ruff and most things he makes a sound for not a word--It is funny because we still give him a bedtime bottle and he asks for it by wiggling his fingers and making a bunch of beeping noises--apparently it is the micro-wave and my hand setting the time and the sound it makes when his 'naa-naa' is ready!
He continues to use hand signs with expert ease! And while he has no real words he is saying "I oh oh" for "I don't know" Ask him where something is both arms go to the side palms up and he says "I oh oh" it is darling!
My oldest son had the worst first word any child could ever have! I took in my firends PAROT for a long period of time and regretted it terribly...that dang bird drove me crazy! Anyway my friend named the stupid bird, "Killer" and after hearing me say , "Be quiet Killer" for weeks my son started saying, "gaucker" wich was "killer" can you imagine your babies first word being Killer? I was so mad i told my friend to get her bird or he was going to the pet store!
