First you have to teach a child to talk.

Then you have to teach it to be quiet.
Our kids are talking a lot these days. A lot of their speech is combined with sign language that we began teaching them when they were newborns, and now at almost 19 months they’re picking it up like crazy. They’ve been talking for a while now in single-word statements, but lately their vocabulary has really gathered momentum. We’ve been writing down things as they say them, and so far they know over 50 words and signs. I have to give a lot of credit to the signing — it really gave them an early aptitude for language that I believe they might not have had otherwise.
