My kids were super-advanced in every way as infants/toddlers but I'm slowly bringing them down to my level.

My daughter ordered a hamburger on her own the other night at a local burger place. After her hot dog, she decided she wanted a hamburger. Told me to stay at the table, walked up to the counter, and told the lady that she wanted a "hangurber." She did have to come back to get my credit card, but she did a good job. I don't think I ever ordered any food when I was 2.5. Like Frosty's first kid, she yammers non-stop.
Of course, she never ate it. So we took it home and I had it for lunch the next day.

Pretty sure if I had tried to order extra food as a kid (at any age) my mom would have thought I was crazy. She thought the The Great Depression lasted up until the 1990s.

Oh...Wife and I were Xmas shopping yesterday and the question of what to buy this kid came up. My wife wanted to text my niece and ask. I told her "No, I'm his uncle. It is my duty to try to give him balance.". I bought him an age-appropriate RC motorcycle. I also wanted to get him something sports and/or violence related but the wife wanted to get him some clothes so we compromised. I picked out a cool retro=looking Spiderman hoodie and a Star Wars t-shirt/thermal thing.Sometimes my wife is worse than I am. And by "worse" I mean funnier.I have a great-nephew (yeah, I'm old). He's my oldest brother's daughter's kid. We'll call him Jake. Love the kid to death but between my mom, my niece, and all of the rest of this kid's grandparents he's a little nancy-boy. He's my mother's only great grandchild she babys the hell out of him. Unfortunately she watches him about 4 days a week while my niece works/goes to school. The kid is 4 1/2 and my mom still calls him "Baby-Jake". Perfect example: This Summer we were all at a family get-together and hanging out by the pool. Jake was walking towards the shallow end of the pool. My son and I were standing less than 10 feet from him. He's not even 3 feet from the edge of the pool (and wearing a floaty-vest) and my mom says "Jake, stop!" I tell her "Mom, he's fine. We're right here". Not to mention the kid won't go in the water unless he's clinging to someone. Then I said "What's the worst that will happen? He'll fall into the pool and I'll yank him out in 5 seconds."My mom replies with "But I don't want him to get scared!". Anyway, this whole thing really bugs my wife. She can't stand how this kid is being coddled, spoiled, babied, etc.Tonight we were talking about how "odd" he looked in a video someone posted of his pre-school Christmas pageant.My wife was going on about how she's losing hope for the kid. She's talking about how he's going to get picked on a lot when he gets to grade school. Then she drops this."And I hope they don't try to 'butch him up' by putting him in karate or something. That never works. All you end up with is a little f[rhymes with maggot] that knows karate."

Both offense have been stagnant but both defenses are vulnerable. I feel like we could see some turnovers in this one that lead to easy points. I suspect with Locker in that the Titans will take some shots down field. Only fear is that this turns into a turnover/ground & pound game. Line on SB just came down from Titans -1.5 / 41.5 to even/41

I see your point. Hey, it's better than the clothes he's normally put in.

Well, the songs on Nebraska deal with ordinary, blue collar characters who face a challenge or a turning point in their lives. Unlike Springsteen's previous albums, very little salvation and grace is present within the songs on the album. However, Nebraska remains one of the most highly-regarded albums in his catalogue.Take it for what it's worth.

My dog likes to run full-speed into the house after being outside for a while. I just let her in, and the ground is really wet as it has rained for most of the day, and she was really flying this time, and when she went to make the turn toward my office, she skidded across the wood floor and slammed head first into the wall at full speed. I freaked out a little, went to see if she's okay, and it's like nothing happened. She's wagging her tail and looking up at me, hoping I'll give her more food.

I sharted today at work. Went to the bathroom, cleaned up, tossed the drawers in the trash.
I told my wife, she asks me: "Where are your underwear?" I said, I threw them in the garbage.
She's like "WHY??? Why wouldn't you just roll them up and put them in your pocket?"

first baby seems to start earlier. ours was full of words, sentences even, by 18 months. second one was slower.. lots of jibberish until around 2. in the last month she has exploded with words, sentences, understanding commands, etc.every kid is different. i'd say around 1 you can expect the first "words" like "mama" and "dada" but for a long while it will be hard to understand and only parents will know what their kid is saying. it all starts to clear up by around 2 (generally) for most kids.eta: i imagine Trebaby has the same giant cranium as his father. more brain = more room for words.

every kid is so different. some kids are natural introverts. some are more expressive. if the kid seems to get it in other ways, the language will come.
suggesting speech therapy for your nephew could be off-putting. but spending time with him reading books, or buying them books and such would be great. my

Lots of misconceptions and anecdotal wisdom about speech delay. E ven kids who seem to "get it" will still benefit from early intervention with speech therapy. No offense, GB, but ignoring it and hoping with good intentions that one day things will just click is a bit misguided.every kid is so different. some kids are natural introverts. some are more expressive. if the kid seems to get it in other ways, the language will come.
