Language development

Some babies speak early. Some later.
I am blessed to have an early talker. But here I would like to calm you down if your baby has not started talking by 1 year old. First, most babies start talking when they are two years old. Most kids in my church started talking when they reached three. Second, they have not talked do not mean they do not understand all your words. Don't underestimate babies. They are SMART!

We were just watching Barney today. He used to love and watch Barney every day and then fell in love with Hi5 and Elmo and never watched Barney for quite some time. When he used to watch Barney back then, he didn't have as many vocabs as now. But today when we watched Barney sang a few songs, Caleb was actually singing along with Barney. I was surprised because first, it's been long time since we watched Barney but he remembered the song. Second, he knew exactly the words on the songs.
So I was thinking that all that time when he used to watch barney everyday, his brain recorded all the songs..word by word though he couldn't say it out. Now that he's able to say it out, those words easily come out. Amazing right...

So my point is, whatever your baby's listening to right now...his brain is recording it, compiling it in his file and saves it for future use :)
so don't worry...they'll eventually talk sooner or later!
