My main concern with Hunter was his speech development. He was actually quite a babbly baby a few months back, and then ‘spoke’ less and less until he was an almost silent baby. This was before his tongue-tie diagnosis and fix, and we knew that because it was fixed later than ideal, there was a risk that it would affect his speech development.
So, in a way, I never knew if his silent-ness was due to personality, or his tongue-tie aftereffects.
Well, turns out that he discovered how to use his tongue in the past 1-2 weeks 😛 He babbles a lot now, though I still don’t know if it’s considered ‘normal’ yet. But I don’t really care and have no interest in comparing him to other babies, because as long as he makes some noise, I am happy!
When he wakes up in the morning… babbling for 30mins or until we say Hello
heehee morning sweetheart! <3<3<3
I can hear him saying DAD DAD DAD, MUM MUM MUM and NAN NAN NAN.
xxxooo
Boy he is sure talking up a storm :).
I guess he’s finally figured out how to use his tongue… heh!
I’ve been your silent reader for past months now… Loving every bit of your baby post!! Some have been informative. Hubs (an aussie too) and I are both leading an expat life and we’re expecting our first child (due in Nov), hence your posts are at times tad similar to our lives 🙂
Glad you’ve moved to WP host because i’ll be commenting ALOT, lol.
Hi Elaine, CONGRATS on your pregnancy!
Your blog site design is absolutely awesome btw. Also a question, is it easier to comment on WP-powered sites if you use WP yourself? As quite a few people have been saying they’re happy I’ve moved onto WP and can visit/comment more now! I’m confused.. lol
Yummy thanks 😀
Yep, as a WP user since day one, it’s much easier to comment on another WP blog/site.
One reason I chose WP was their many tasteful free templates! Try them out…
babbling is great 🙂 it’s definately within ‘normal’ range so i would just totally enjoy it and not worry so much for a while yet x
Oh that’s good to know! And you’re right of course. Though as parents, it’s just so difficult not to worry about your child, no matter how big or small the ‘issue’ may be…
oh definately, but it’s also the great thing about being a parent. unconditional love + curiousity + amazement of our kids!
hi little bub! 🙂 he is such a happy baby!!
even after i moved, i checked lj for your updates but don’t have to do that anymore! 🙂
welcome to your new home!! xx
Hee! Are you subscribed via RSS now or something? I’m loving having my own lil space.. wish I’d done it earlier now 😉
Also, it’s no myth that boys are less verbal than girls – it doesn’t impact what they’re like as adults at all but what a huge difference when they are young. And all quite normal 🙂
That last shot is adorable…
Ohh yes I did hear about that! Most of the make kids I know did start talking later then the girls..
I’ve followed you for over ten years! Gypsy, diaryland, another boyfriend, etc! I was so sad when you were at LJ because I never joined and had to leave an anoymous comment every2 years or so. 🙂 Glad to add your new place to my reader.
Oh we do go waaaaay back, how cool 😀 It’s fab to join the WP crowd!
Tooo cute (whether he blabbers or not)! :p
It’s like waking up to Little Mr Sunshine everyday!
Yeah the fab thing about babies is that they are SO CHEERY in the mornings.. it makes up for it when they wake up early, heh
