Tonight while attempting to feed my 17 month old a bottle and get her to sleep, she pulled the bottle away from her mouth, and said, "All done. No more dint (drink). Down."
Shannon, I had an 18 month old like that too. I worried too-- shouldn't have. These days she tests at the TIP top of the charts every time we do standardized testing. She's got plenty of brains--she's just choosy with her words.
My son who will be two later this month is saying only a few words. I'm not worried. My older boy was a slower talker, the sisters tended to talk a lot earlier. My baby is almost 10 mo. In the last two weeks he has gone to being a blanket baby, to being a scrounger, from struggling with baby food to eating cheerios. He is growing up already. I so understand.
Yeah my seventeen month old loves to talk! but all I hear is "mmmnnnnn errr ummm phum". Maybe I should have my ears checked! How's your son doing? How are you holding up? Hope it goes fast for you! Thinking of you.....
Oh, they grow up so fast. My 8 month old is sitting on my lap, and when he saw that ADORABLE picture of your little girl and her smile, he started laughing uncontrollably. He loves other kids, and apparently your daughter fits the bill.
and I had one that didn't do any baby talk whatsoever...like no goo goo da da EVER....we were starting to get worried then at 17 mths she looked at me and said "pass me that" I was shocked and totally relieved....she just skipped the baby language all together and had a 3 word phrase! she is my most intelligant child.....although she has a completely different learning style then the others.
I am Mary. 20 years ago I married my high school sweetheart. We have kids in college, high school, junior high, grade school, preschool, and diapers, 8 altogether. Half arrived via adoption. I homeschool. I kiss owies. I write. I eat chocolate. I garden. I cook. I take pictures obsessively. I am very busy and very, very blessed.

I'm so jealous! My 18 month old does not say a word. Not. a. word. Starting to get worried...
Smart girl! The darling whose nanny I am is just her age and oh my word, it's a fun one.
