My youngest two kiddos have not been in any hurry to be conversationalists. Jericho still sometimes requires a little translating. Amaryllis is almost 17 months old, and while she will say a few select words (mama, daddy, bubba -which is brother-, mo-mo -which is milk-, and dodo -which is dog-) she really just points and yells to get what she is after. She honestly doesnt NEED to talk at this point...since the pointing and yelling usually brings one of her older siblings running to get her what she wants. She knows how to work the system. Here is little video of her actually speaking, though. She spent the entire trip to Target yelling about "dodo" that she kept spotting around the store's Christmas decor.
She's pretty adamant about being acknowledged when she does finally say some words. She will get louder and louder until you answer her. So I spent the entire shopping trip saying, "Yeah! DoDo!" Babies definitely have a way of making you look like a Dodo in public. ;)
