I cannot stress enough how important reading to your child is.
Baby had her 9 month well child check up on Monday. The pediatrician was impressed by how much this girl talks! He asked us if she talks. Our response was "when doesn't she talk?".
To be on track Baby should be proficient with mama and dada as well as imitating sounds. (I don't say this to brag but to stress the importance of reading) Baby is well beyond that.
She says:
Mama
Dada
Ticky ticky
Ducky
What's that?
Kitty
Papa/ baba
And other repeated words
And she uses these appropriately.
I can only attribute this is us reading to her everyday. A lot too. We spend a lot of time with books.
So please don't say she's too young to really understand what's in a book. They never are!! And the impact is HUGE!
