Look Who's Talking!

There are several milestones in a baby's life, from infancy to toddlerhood and beyond.

The looking, the smiling, the crawling, the gurgling, the standing, the walking and so many more that one delights in. And remembers.

But for me the greatest transition for a child will always be that from pre verbal to verbal. In many ways its the single most 'humanising' development of a child. That moment in evolution when the homo sapien was born. And as has been said often enough, in the growth of a baby one can see the entire process of evolution, if one observes keenly enough.

When we had seen the first ultrasound of this beautiful being, my husband had christened her 'tadpole'!! So well, I guess it can be said officially, 8 and 21 months after that day, our tadpole is socio culturally 'human'.

Look who's talking!!
