Thanks, Aquinas. It seems other babies on here are far more advanced, but I am happy with my baby-o's development.

My mum was very happy, and sounded like she was crying a little when I rang her lol.

That's great that your boy is spelling! Is he into numbers? I remember my DS6 at that age doing the same; he is a mathy kid, didn't talk much, but knew a million and one words and used to type them on the computer at two. By the time he was 2.5 he typed 'strawberry jam'.
