My daughter was progressing at a pretty normal rate initially, speaking her first word at 9 months, speaking several words and using a few signs at 1 year old. By 18 months she was using over 100 and asking "Where's the bubbles?", and by 2 she knew at least a thousand words and told me "Buttons the bear broke his arm just like Woody." Which was true, and which the pediatrician told us was not normal.
It's happening again. My son spoke 6 words when he turned 1. He's 13 months now, and learning a new word or two every day. It's like he's had 4 months of progression in 2 months. While my daughter started daycare at 3 months, my son has been with his maternal grandmother instead. Their childhoods should be significantly different as a result, but here we are again. Weird.
