Your boy has a fantastic vocabulary. My youngest is almost five and significantly speech delayed. Over the years we’ve had to learn HIS language because the way he says words is not the way we say them. It’s actually interesting being around him with non-family because we’ve learned to understand him but they can’t. We translate and it always awes the audience that we actually understood what he said.

I suppose, it’s like learning a foreign language. Babies start off with their own baby talk. Maybe it means something to them or maybe it’s just them trying the sounds they hear as the learn to understand the way words come together. My youngest struggles to learn how to say words correctly but his comprehension is perfect. I’m sure he’ll get there eventually, the important thing is to avoid growing frustrated with him.

Way to go for your little guy! It’s amazing watching them grow and learn.

Great list you compiled. I've been MIA for a few weeks and just discovered all the positive changes you've made to the site. I also admire you for taking off on your drawing/cartooning. I got a little lost though within two locations. The one is this one, Blogger Dad, and then the other has the cartoons. Do you have two sites now or are they connected somehow. I have you on my blog roll and want to have the right link. B. Wildes last blog post..My Trip to the Philippines – And a Fun Time Was Had by All

Writer Dad – Hey, thanks to you for your daily inspirations!

Marc – Thanks, I appreciate it.

Matthew – Yeah, sorry I’ve been posting non-Drydenesque posts of late. And yes, they are so cute.

Patricia – Thank you. He doesn’t jump in the crib often. Every now and then he wakes up in a super good mood, though, and he starts bouncing! BOING BOING! Though I’m afraid I might have to put some steel reinforcement along the bottom before too long.

That's so awesome that you wrote all those words out! I never did that, but I totally wish I had. Max used the word "Bama" like smurfs used the word smurf. He would fill in the blank with the word whenever he couldn't finish a sentence. Your story reminded me and made me smile. Thanks, man. Writer Dads last blog post..Meet Max, My Little Boy.
