walk and talk at 6 weeks. grin and laugh at 2 days. feed himself at ooooohh, ten days or so?
sorry, all that is normal then? oh thankyou, ladies, glad to know offspring isn't doing anything unusual

Ooh this is the place to have a gentle laugh at someone I know! This someone is a first-time parent and uber proud. all good. But says to me the other day their 3 week old can do things of a 20 week old including lifting head from ground whilst on back, reaching for things and kissing in response to parents. Hee hee, she can't of course, she's really lovely. but she is a baby you know. Ahh it's lovely to be all proud though ay?

Finding their way to the egg is pretty advanced behaviour for sperms. Tis tricky you know.

according to dd, ds wrote the letters p and q all over the dining room carpet with a marker pen when he was 4 months old. I always felt that was pretty advanced for a baby.

dd can say mummum, dada, more, yes, bye

what age do babies normally start to talk?
its probably perfctly normal, but im a first time mummy, so im probably over proud

My dd could talk clearly at 9 months. But she wasn't advanced - she was jus a bit of a freakishly early talker. She couldn't walk until she was 17 months - she just put all her development energy into talking. By the time she was 3, everyone had caught up with her, and she is now a bright/average 12 year old.

It is fun when they talk early though - and it's brilliant when you're at the supermarket and they say something and people look round, thinking "Who said that?" It's a bit like being a ventriloquist!
