[QUOTE="LoonyAlana, post: 617121, member: 17555"] Sadly, I didn't keep up with his baby book, so I don't know exactly when he started speaking, or walking, or anything like that. Although, in general, both of my boys (as best I can remember) either were 'average' in age or speak, or possibly early. I can remember at an early age his 'stubbornness' showing even when we were working on his drinking out of cups - "My sips!" Was always his response, he'd take a drink out of our cup and basically steal the drink from us. He also has a broader vocabulary than I would expect a young child to have, and he's really intelligent about so many things (when he chooses to absorb the information.) He can have long, in-depth conversations about the states of matter, cloud formation and water vapor, and how Doctor Who can regenerate and travel through time and space in his Tardis... My oldest was the same way as well; when he was 5 years old he said once, "It's not appropriate to use the bathroom (at a gas station) and not buy something." and again at 6 years old he had said, "Mom, the other kids antagonize me." I'm not sure if this is because my husband and I will use 'big words' at times, or what. I am an avid reader and don't shy away from using large words while talking to the kids. [/QUOTE]
