Gavin has ALWAYS done things at his own pace. When Emery started walking, she took a few wobbly steps, fell down and tried it again. When Gavin started to walk (several months later), he literally walked all the way across the room, turned around and came back. I had a feeling that talking would be the same way. Gavin started off by saying "tractor" at about 14 months. We heard "acta, acta, acta" (tractor) over and over for months! He added a few more words over the next 6 months......"uh-oh", "da" (Daddy), "ow" (out), "no", "cccccc" (car), "hi" ,and "Nemo", but even on his 2nd birthday he was still saying just a handful of words. Then, about 3 weeks ago, the flood gates were opened! All of a sudden, he decided to talk. He probably says at least 100 words now and is adding new words daily! His favorites are of course anything with wheels: "car", "red car", "big car", "fast car", "big blue car", "bus", "big tractor", "police", "back" (backhoe), "mix" (cement mixer), "dump" (dump truck), and all of the characters from the Cars movie. He even pointed and said "mailman" when our mail was being delivered! Words are coming out that we didn't even realize that he knew! He's got so much knowledge in him that's finally able to come out. He's a much happier kid now and he talks NON-STOP!

It must be a boy thing because Preston is the same way. I can understand more of what Lily says and she talks more often. Mostly Preston says "big fruck" big truck. Now what are you going to do with 2 talking non stop, haha. Hope your feeling well.
