Brooks said "Go!"

Hallelujiah!

Brooks said his 3rd word!

We made some progress with his talking today. Up until today he has only said 2 words meaningfully. "Dad!"... and "Uh-oh." Occasionally he says "Mom", but only when "forced". I know that he is comprehending a lot... and he has his own way of communicating... it's just not in the form of actually words. So I've been thinking that it will all 'click' and he'll be talking like crazy (similar to what Josh did when he turned 2). But the past few weeks, I have been a little more concerned because he doesn't even TRY to mimic words... only sounds and voice inflections.

But today he said "BALL!" We were sooooooooo excited you would've thought the circus was in our house!

This may seem like a little thing (especially after having 2 kids whose speech has always come easily)... but this is a big milestone for us... and hopefully the first of many more new words!
