Doing better than Sam who is all of 9 days younger!

Sam has "woo" or woof - which is used for all small and furry animals (including cats, rabbits and guinea pigs). He also has "twee" for the sounds birds make. In the last week he has started making a brrrrm sound for cars, motorbikes, etc. And only in the last few days has he come up with NO - and my goodness is he using it a lot!

There's other things that he has said - mum, dad, more, something we think was meant to be bird, but he just hasn't continued to use them. Once we discovered that he had a thing for animals we started visiting pet shops (we rent and can't have pets) to expose them to animals, plus lots of animal books, puzzles. Anything we could think of that would get him vocalising! It seems to be working. We have a paed appointment next week and I'm half expecting a referral to speach therapy. I will let you know how we go.
