DD, you are a fantastic mother, get those thought outta your head girl!

DP and I had to consciously stop calling DS "bubba" as he wasn't responding to his name. He does now, no probs and has just started saying it too!

Over the last few weeks I have fielded comments from well meaning friends and relatives about DS speech (or lack of) reccomending I go see someone now before it becomes a problem. I was all set to do so, find a speech therapist etc.. but in my gut/heart I knew there was nothing wrong, he is a boy, boys tend to be a bit slower on the speech side of things.Ds has always been a bit behind in everything, crawling, walking etc.. I figure he is just a bit behind with speech too.
But since we went away over easter with all DP's extended family and about 6 kids all up, we have come back witha chatterbox! he has acquired so many new words, even now saying sentences! all that over the course of a few days! could be that "word explosion" I've heard tell of.

anyway, just wanted to tell you that, as there are so many different types of normal, if you feel yourself that maybe, possibly, there could be something wrong then there is no harm in getting it checked out. HTH. xxx
