Indulge me while I share an impossibly cute video of Jericho. Sorry, I can't help it.
Jericho is not really talking yet. When Jade was almost two, she was conversing about post-structuralist theory in complete, grammatically correct paragraphs (if I remember correctly). Jericho converses with gestures (or "jesters," as his daycare teacher recently wrote), signs, sounds, and a few words.
He can growl. He can say "uh oh!" He has made up some words -- he says "gunga" for nurse, for instance. He repeats some words over and over, like "side," which means outside.
Compared to Jade, he's a bit delayed. But it could just be that he's a boy.
