Kevin’s been very picky about what qualifies as ‘talking’ from Robin. Imitating sounds we make as we provide him with food (like ‘cheese’)… nah, didn’t count. Occasionally shouting ‘ya-ya-ya’ when he desperately wants mama’s attention, but it’s so hard to be sure there because it’s so rare….

But at last he has been satisfied: Robin’s first word is ‘doggy’.
