I just paid a visit to our grandson, and he's talking and scooting around and learning so much every day it is dazzling. He can turn the light switch on when you say on and off when you say off, and say up and down and mama and daddy and more and good and any number of words. So I can have a kind of conversation with him and he answers, with plausible intonation and great seriousness, even if I don't quite know what he's talking about. But if you ask Book? he responds favorably and he also knows sign language for milk and done. Quite a little verbal wizard for ten months. I'm impressed, but then I'm over the moon for him.
Language and speech is so amazing when you see it begin and develop in a baby, and I'm around him enough to get the full effect. I realize all over again what a gift it is and how precious.
I can't wait until he comes up with a name for me. Our bond is being forged, and I love every minute of it.
