Ok, I've suspected for a while that Oliver was a closet talker. Every now and then something slips out that I think might be a word, but he won't repeat it and he gives me this "Who, me?" look when I ask him if he said something. So I left a voice activated recorder in the room with him for about 15 minutes while I was in the office at the other end of the house. I heard his peeps and clucks trying to get my attention as usual, nothing else. But when I listened to the recording, I heard words! It sounds like he's calling my name ("Kathy") in a couple of places. I've tried uploading a one-and-one-half-minute segment of the file as a zip, but it's too big, so I edited it down to just a few seconds of him saying (my name?) once. What do you think?

I'll take your word for it, Kat, Josey is not a closet talker, she goes thru her whole vocabulary with us in the room with her and she will actually answer back to us when we talk to her sometimes.:P

I'm just so happy to learn that he CAN talk. Since he's almost 2 years old, I was afraid it would never happen. Now at least I know he can do it, it's just a matter of making him want to do it when I'm around. Funny thing is, he's calling me Kathy. I'm almost never called Kathy around here. It's either Mom or a form of Grandma, usually. LOL, I have one friend who comes by once a week or so, but Oliver hates him, won't let him near his cage and bites him whenever he can. But he says "Kathy" with the same inflection my friend uses when he says it!
