Two

Yesterday Makili turned 20 months and strung two words together for the first time. Byebye duck! (When the ducks walked away from him.) That doesn't sound too exciting but it's a big developmental milestone in language, which hasn't been his advanced subject. He's been talking so much more lately, and having his BFF Gabby around who is a huge chatterbox has helped too. I think I'll try to list words I hear him say regularly, though I know I'll forget some.
