Of course every parent think their child is the cutest, smartest, funniest, cleverest child in the world. . . .but mine really is! :-)And I think all of this about a boy who has only said the words "mama," "dada," "up," "ball," and "moo," and those last three are only decipherable in context!
Will doesn't talk much, but he does have great command over his nonverbal responses, so I feel like we're having real conversations. We're certainly getting our messages across to one another. He shakes his head "yes" and "no," in response to our questions, and he points at pictures or objects that he wants or to identify an object. And, he just runs and grabs the things he wants that are within his reach (including things we didn't know were within his reach! Ha ha!). He also responds to our instructions such as getting his shoes or putting something away.
Will's current favorite thing to hear is, "Do you want to go outside?" To which he vigorously shakes his head "yes," and runs to the door and starts pulling on the knob. He also gives a big head nod and a run for the stairs if you ask, "Do you want to go upstairs?"
He loves reading, and we let him take board books to bed with him. On weekend mornings, we often find him sitting up in bed and flipping through a book - having never cried to let us know he was awake.
He may not be the most verbally advanced 15 month old out there, but he's the most advanced one in our house, and we're thrilled with how many new things he shows us every day!!
