I'm finding Solids are fun but exhausting - feel like I spend my whole life preparing food and cleaning up at the mo. - and forget going out at mealtimes! More fun now that hevseems to be enjoying it more too - think it took him a while to get used to the whole swallowing thing.
Surprised how much I am enjoying owen's increased mobility and watching him explore. Though nappy changes are quickly becoming a nightmare.
My sister said her first words at six months (famously 'hello mummy' out of te blue, bit of a shock for my mum as I had been a late talker) and could say 20 words at a year, so can happen yes, but chewing is good prep for talking as strengthens the muscles in the mouth. Babies seem to often focus on one skill before others, so common for early crawlers to be late talkers and vice versa.
