Oh I have to share a story -- not really GT related, but pretty darn cute if I do say so myself... LOL
DS was barely 3 months old and in his carseat/carrier in a shopping cart at the craft store, and while I was checking out he was giggling at the elderly woman behind us.. and then out of the blue he said, clear as a bell, "Hey!" (which in these parts is a standard greeting... LOL) perfectly inflected -- sounded like it should be part of "Hey dollface" ... *snort* ... and the woman screamed "OH MY GOD THAT'S THE SMARTEST BABY I'VE EVER SEEN!!!"
Now I don't for an instant think he was actually talking at that point -- he babbled and mimicked and made random cute noises but he didn't have any recognizable words until 10 months and then only the two (both cat-related... *sigh*) until he was 22 months. Definitely not an early talker! But he did have that quality of being "engaged" (that I mentioned I should have noticed), which lent a lot of "weight" to anything he sounded like he was saying.
I thought the lady was just nuts at the time, and pretty much still do! LOL But it's amusing how he has turned out anyway!
