Hey J., with my oldest daughter spoke really early and very clearly. I don't know if it was because she was the first everything, child, grandchild etc. so she was constantly around adults and we never spoke baby talk or repeated words back to her the way she had said it. My youngest on the other hand is almost impossible to understand princess=pinta, stuff like that. But because we know she's the last we have, for some reason, been repeating her words. I was also in speech therapy when I was younger. I worried about it in the beginning with her but have just decided that I'm not going to push her. The older she gets the more words she's picked up on, I think as long as you keep working with him you'll be shocked at how fast he picks up on words. Right now, I'm just happy that people can't understand her because she is at the stage where she points out embarrasing, for us, comments about others!
