This evening Michael looked at an apple I was eating and said something that sounded awfully like, “What’s that?” Chao-Jen and I both looked at him and then each other, both surprised. I looked back at Michael, pointed at the apple, and said, “Apple.” Almost immediately, he responded, “Apple.”
He said it a few more times, clearly referring to the apple, although it did become “bapple” a couple times.
Amazing.
He has said other words (including “owl” when looking at one of his sippy cups), but this seemed much more interactive.
