Chatty Little Benny

Benjamin has been babbling for months, with the occasional few random words. In the last 2 days he has made a HUGE leap in his talking. He now says teddy, kitty and car while pointing to the appropriate objects. He’s said these 3 words close to 100 times in the last 2 days.

Yesterday we were doing the grocery shopping and we bought a packet of kitty little tray plastic liners. The box had a cartoon picture of a cat on it, and he picked it up and pointed to the cat and said “kitty”.

There have been several other small incidences like this when he’s used words appropriately and in ways i didn’t expect him to be able to do. He will also attempt to say a greater variety of words if we ask him to. He’s very proud of him self and smiles a lot when we praise him for talking.

Ethan is still our quiet thinker and observer. We get the impression Ethan understands more than Ben, while Ben talks more than Ethan. It’s interesting to watch them develop.
