Use Your Words

 

Jackson is 20 months old.  He is wonderful!  He is a happy boy, very active, and already playing pretend with his brother and sister.  My concern with Jackson lately is that is still has not said 1 word.  Sure he makes sounds, and he communicates by pointing, grunting, or body language, but that doesn't seem like enough to me.  Of course everyone wants to offer there theory that maybe is is just a late bloomer, or his brother and sister talk for him (which I not true because I don't let it).  The late bloomer thing may be true but I am unconvinced, so we have started down the road of early intervention to see if there is a problem, and what we can do about it.  Hearing tests are first along with a speech pathologist to figure out how we can help our little guy.  We love him and know he will talk someday, but I am having a hard time being patient.  I will keep you posted if we find out anything interesting.
