Maddison was around 3 Adults that talked to her & each other using grown up words constantly. By the time she was 1 we were having clear conversations with her of a few sentences, but she was also reading really early on & just seemed to understand & want to express herself early, she only ever had a dummy at night bedtimes...

My niece was very different, but her Mother was sent away for 8 months when my niece was 5 months old & she lived full time with my Older sister whom had 2 young children too. My niece never moved, crawled, nor said a word for a very long time. As her Mum had drug issues we guessed she had been affected, about 6wks after my sister was back, my niece started crawling & beagn walking soon after at around 18+ months by the time she was 2 she finally started making noises & verballising, then by the time she was 3 we were all bombarded with her conversation!!!

He may just not have much to say, I found with my niece we probably felt sorry for her & babied her a bit more & grabbed things & offered them to her without her having to request it or make a move toward it etc... Which I dont think helped, where as with Maddison she said the correct word because we didnt offer stuff til she had what she wanted, she actually asked for it.

Indah says Mum, Dad, Bye Bye whilst waving, she says Ta.. But I think we all talk a heck of a lot at home!!! hee hee!
