I know that other children are ahead with their speech compared to Jacob, but I'm not concerned about it as I know that he understands what we are saying to him, and he has other non-verbal ways of communicating, e.g. gesturing for things. Having said that, his speech is coming on in leaps and bounds, but he does pronounce things funny, like Aidyn does.
Things he can say are:
Mama (or just 'Ma')
Daddy
Nanny
Cat
Car
Cracker (carcar)
Teddy
Tree
Dog
Pea
Corn
Dee (dummy)
Bob (Bob The Builder LOL!)
Tra (truck)
Baw (Ball)
Boo (Book)
Baby
Eye
Hair
Cheek
Tee (Teeth)
Poo
Chee (Chip)
Cee (CD)
No
I think there are others (actually I'm certain of it) but I just can't think what they are. And some of the above I couldn't think how to type them the way he says them IYKWIM?
But as far as we are concerned, the main point is that he understands what is going on around him and can communicate in other ways too. We know that he is always trying to say other things and I know he does say them, we just haven't worked out what they are yet.......
