Hi Cinta, there are HEAPS of ticker sites out there if you google 'baby age tickers' or 'birthday tickers'. Once you find one you like, copy the BBCode (with the URL) and paste it into your signature. Re the talking, it will really vary heaps at this age and they aren't *expected* to have a lot of words, but I think around 3-5 would be considered average. Alister has Mum, Dad, Nan, baa (for bath) and ta-ta (when he waves). he also nods yes when I ask him a question too, like does he want breakfast etc. Alister started walking at 9.5mths, same as his older sisters. Thankfully I didn't get m/s through the entire pg, but the first 15wks were pretty rough for me. Were you sick for most of it?

Arte, what nappies did you get? Alister didn't have croup thankgod. He's just got a really phlegmy cough.
