Over the last couple of months, I have thought about Jake talking and when he was going to start spewing out words and phrases and sentences..... like, "Mo, No!" and "More Juice!". I have never worried about his progress with talking or brought it up as a concern with his doctor because (1) he is a boy and boys tend to take a little longer to talk, (2) he is a 6 week preemie, (3) he babble talks all day long, and (4) he will do it when he is good and ready! But of course as the doting mom that I am, I secretly hoped that he wouldn't have any speech/talking/developmental problems.
As my mom and I sat on the bed today and watched Jake crawl down off the side, he looked up at us and waved and said "bye bye" and at that moment, I realized that we have nothing to fear. Our little boy is talking his own language every day and is beginning to make the transition to our language so we can understand each other.
Then he walked over to Mosley who was chewing on a ball and said, "ball".
Phew, smart kid :-)

'In the beginning all you want is for them to walk and talk an when they are older all you want is for them to sit down and be quiet.'
