Pie didn't really start talking until she was about 21 months old. I think being a first child and that fact that I just seemed to know what she needed and wanted contributed to her not needing to be verbal. At about 23 months she really started learning more works and now at almost 30 months old is talking in complete sentences and usually using correct grammar, even if she does refer to herself in 3rd person (and as Pie).
I was was a little bit worried about her when hearing other mother's talk about their younger children talking so well. I thought that maybe they were just bragging and counting every little noise their kids made as real words. But she is such a jabber box now, I know there is nothing to worry about at all!
Sammie has really shocked me with how well and how young she has picked up language. I guess having an older sister to keep up with (and tattle on!) has encouraged her to want to communicate. She isn't even 18 months old yet and already speaking in 2 word sentences. She can answer most questions that she's asked and always wants to know where ____ is at. Especially Papa (Grandma and Grandpa!) It just amazes me at how well and how quickly children learn, even when they learn things you don't want them too.
