Highlights from the Discussion

seastar: I just want to share my excitement with people who will understand…my 8, almost 9 month old, can identify many of the words from YBCR when given a choice of two.

seastar: He correctly pointed to or gave me 9 words. He got 3 wrong - not bad for a little baby.

m_rogue23: I felt the same way too when my baby at around 8 months can point the words mommy, daddy, grandpa and grandma when shown two or three cards.
