At Taten's 15 month appointment the Doctor asked if Taten was talking. I replied "no...well he says ball" (thanks to Lacey). The doctor said it would be a good idea to make a referral to Early Intervention (which of course I was familar with because of my previous job with the Division of Developmental Disabilities)
This week the speech therapist came to our house to evaluate Taten.
"What words other than mom and dad is Taten saying."
"Taten does not say mom or dad specifically, he says ball"
"Is he playing social games like peek a boo?"
"Yes, he's been doing that since he was 6 months of age"
Taten continued to perform while the speech therapist was here. He said woo woo when looking at a picture of a cat. (Taten loves dogs and woo woo is his way of barking) He followed all directions given to him, "can you stack the blocks" "throw the ball". He babbled the whole time he was being evaluated. . . even repeating the sound a horse makes and saying what sounded like"what is that?" He signs more and milk and obviously says "boo" and today I heard him say "wow" when dropping my keys in the sink.

Let me know how the referral goes
You are right. This is too cute and way better with sound.
