My dearest little Nixon is now 13 months old (and some). I get a lot of emails and papers from the doctors about where "THEY" think my baby should be at that age. First of all, who are these people and WHY do "THEY" have to map out exactly where my son should be at each minute of his life? Don't they know that it just causes me a whole bunch load of stress?
I have been reading that Nixon should be saying 2 word phrases. Are you serious? Maybe all your babies out there are talking up a storm, but we did not purchase "Your baby can read" or TALK for that matter.
The funny thing is, my mom predicted that he would be an early talker. Well, moms know everything right? (At least mine!) So, why isn't Nixon blabbing away?
Maybe he was born to the wrong family and he is really suppose to be speaking Yiddish. He does talk, just not anything I would ever understand. So maybe I am right, maybe he IS speaking Yiddish! If that is the case I have a very smart baby because he says a lot more than 2 word phrases. Since Nixon was born into an American family, it would be a little tough growing up in a household where he is the only one who speaks Yiddish. So I guess we must start training him to speak our native language. English. There is only one problem with that, I am a BAD teacher. I try, but apparently not good enough. I am not very good at this first time mother thing. If any of you have any thoughts or comments, or the digits to a specialist I would very much appreciate that right away! :)

Kylee I'm so glad you posted this! It's been something that I have stressed about for a while! Gage is 15 months this week and still isn't really saying 2 word phrases that we understand! I think that kids have their own timeline and we should stop worrying! Anyways, just know that someone is in your same boat! :)
Boston did not talk until 2 and did not walk until 15 months. There is nothing wrong with Nixon.
Kayson says simple words like ball, dada, mama and a few others. He never says two words together either! I was really worried about Kaylee and Madi talking when they were little and this is the advice Marlin gave me: you spend two years of their lives trying to get them to talk, and you spend the rest of their lives trying to get them to shut up! I wish I would have listened to him ha ha!
Dont read those things about what your baby should be doing and when. Each baby will do their own thing when they are ready. Addie is just to a point where she is speaking to where I know what she means and she will be two in August. I would also make the mistake of comparing her to other babies that were around the same age and I wouldnt do that either. He will come around and do whatever he needs to do when he is ready.
Well it looks like you've got a lot of very good advice from "real" mothers out there. It's true every child is different. Don't stress! He's constantly learning new things. He's a smart little "yiddish" boy!
