To my great surprise, on our way to the living room after Cory’s last nap today, he said “hi.” I always say “hi” to him when he wakes up, and today he gave it half a minute and then said “hi” back. Really nailed it, too.

It’s exciting, but when it happened it was actually kinda creepy. When someone has lived with you most of a year without saying anything, you’d just as soon expect it from one of the cats. Plus, Thud and I have had dreams about Cory talking since before he was born. It’s a strange thing – normal I’m sure, but still strange.

Anyway, I haven’t been able to get him to do it again since then. I think that although he can copy simple words, he doesn’t realize that they mean anything specific, so he has more fun with baby talk.

For now.
