[tri-med] Re: talking

Hi Karen,
Just my humble opinion....if Julian is saying some words....keep up the  
great work! My Brianna babbled as a baby. Then stopped making sounds until she  
was 3 yrs old. Then one day when hubby and I were sitting with her....she made 
a 
 sound!!! We were ecstatic......trying now to remember exactly what it was?  
Something like "NA-NA or Ya-ya??.......sooooo long ago. 
 
She took off from there. With a great speech therapist who literally seemed  
to pull the words out of her, she was on her way.
 
I also think that like Michelle w/Alex, having a baby brother around helped  
tremendously. She wanted to keep up with baby! Maybe borrow a kid every now 
and  then? LOL
 
Today at 18 yrs old, she talks sentences. They are usually 5-10 words long.  
Sometimes not all the words are clear, but SHE talks and she can be  
understood!
 
If you have words already....oh my gosh!! He's off to a great start!
 
Hugs,
Laurie
