well he's always said odd word with lots of prompting, but in the last few days ite been different. He's been making eye contact, talking and listening iykwim. He's said "I want trampoline" (says trampoline really clearly), when looking for the taxi has been saying "taxi" then looking at my watch looking at me and saying something about time. At school they did donkey riding and he said a lot then- all in the home school book. I was telling him he was going to see one of his helpers and he was looking at my mouth and then trying to copy what I was saying - really thinking about (!!! thud!!!!) it felt very big, but also almost unoticeable iykwim. He's spent the last hour looking for dh out the window saying "daddy" really clearly.

I can hear him yelling now in the street though

That is really fantastic .

I think if it was me I'd be totally excited and pleased on one hand and desperately trying to ignore it on the other incase by hoping he was actually talking i was jinxing it somehow!! (I know it doesn't make any sense ).

I'm in the ignoring camp HITC (whilst looking at him quizzically out of the corner of my eye )
