Between 14 and 18 months, his DCP began to comment on DS9's vocabulary. DS9 was a preemie and had been borderline developmentally delayed with milestones in his first year (which are mostly physical until then I grant you, but he wouldn't imitate or speak either, just WATCH, all caps, iykwim). We were bemused, toddler saying two word sentences, normal, right? Apparently a "kid person" could tell even then those were unusual. When he suddenly started speaking in full, grammatically correct sentences at 22 months, including first person, subjunctives, tenses, modal verbs etc, we knew.
