I was not paying much attention to it actually. Jeremiah was all babbling round the clock unless he is sleeping and I got so used to it so it just went in one ear and exited the other ear. Until yesterday, I was clearing up the pile of magazines in the living room and he was standing at the window babbling and yelling again. I heard something that made me sit up.
"BERD! Ahhhhwatishbabababooooo ... AH!AH!AH! BERD!!"
I thought somebody said "bird"?
So I joined him at the window and true enough, there were some sparrows lingering around in the garden looking for food. I pointed to the birds and told Jeremiah,"Yes, these are birds.!"
Again, he responded with "Berd!". Sometimes, it sounds like "baerd".
First step and first word ... many more to come.
