So, I know they say not to compare your kids because, "every child is different", but we totally compare our two over here, it is hard not to. Basically, Thatcher speaks Caveman and Samantha at his age was pretty articulate with words. We aren't sure if it is because we've heard boys don't talk as soon as girls or that the older sibling does the talking for the younger one or we talk to him less because he is our second, who knows?!
Besides grunting, he can say "Uh-Oh", "Ball", "Bye Bye", "Hi" ,"No No" "Ma Ma" and "Da Da". "Ma Ma" is also said for other things like when he wants something to eat which entails banging on the refrigerator door very Caveman-like. I actually think he may be trying to say "More" but I am not sure because the majority of the time it is "Ma". Other than that, he does a lot of squealing, making funny faces and more grunting.
Take a look for yourself:

you know a lot of time parents exaggerate, but i think it's safe to say you didn't. the build up was there but he totally delivered. i'm sure he's just a late bloomer. and as the second child in my family, the older sibling does cause many woes throughout your life. i'm sure speech development is just one of them. :-) xoh
