Babbling

I just thought I'd post an update about Kevin's speech.  He's been in speech therapy for a little over 3 weeks now.  He is making more sounds.  I've especially noticed an improvement in his vowels.  Also, he will say words with two syllables.  Examples:  bo-bo, wah-wah (water), Weh-Wuh (Sarah), Doh-uh (Dora), etc.  Also, he's begun to babble.  This is probably along the lines of what a 9 or 10 month old would do.  But, somehow it seems that Kevin kind of passed over that stage.  As soon as he started trying to talk, he'd say one syllable sounds.  Up to 3 weeks ago, those sounds were limited exclusively to "Bah, Dah, Wah, and Lah."  

This is a video of Kevin babbling happily.  That is, until a spoon accidentally gets dropped on his head!  My poor baby!  However, you can tell by the video that he is making marked improvement in his speech.  If you're curious, you can look back at the February 21st post entitled, "Trying to Get Appointments."  Although he still says his favorite 4 syllables often, we're hearing a bigger variety of words now.
