I think we should all leave them alone, Harlow will be making different sounds as she gets bigger. She was probably cooing and it sounded like “hi” but it was probably “aiiey”.

She’s just being a proud grandma, let her be! In my family the “legend” is that my brother was potty trained by the time he was 10 months old (“I said sit and he sat”, riiiight…) and could talk sentences by the time he was a year…

please, crawl and speak at 3 months !!! I have six kids 4 under 4 years of age. she needs to get another grandchild no kid crawls or speaks at 3 months.

My 3.5 month old says “hi” all the time but she doesn’t know what it means. Shes just experimenting with different sounds. She also kicks her legs and pushes her toes into the carpet which looks like she’s trying to move. Once again though she’s just experimenting with motions.

That is the cutest story. I am so happy for that family, especially Nicole. It’s amazing how a child can bring out the best in most of us. I guess that’s why they (children) are considered miracles. My comments also include the bloggers who shared their stories. I love you guys!

Mmm… I dunno. While most likely she’s surprised that it all worked together to get the word out, it’s highly possible that Harlow intentionally made it happen through trial and error. The problem will be with follow up: can she do it again?!? I guess it depends on your definition of “talking.” If by talking you mean can the baby do it over and over at will, then no, she probably wasn’t “talking.”

One child I babysat constantly had one phrase that started when she was about 6 months old. It was “What’s that?” Admittedly, 90% of the time, it came out as “that? that? that?” but with the pointing and crying if the person she was communicating with didn’t answer, it became obvious that in fact, she was talking. And cataloging what she saw.

As far as reading at two, I read at three. My mother didn’t believe I could read either, but my cousins knew better. They got a baby book that I didn’t have in my “library,” confirmed with Mom that she’d never read it to me herself (to rule out possible memorization; I’d never gone to nursery school or anything yet) and had me read it. Turns out I *could* read. So maybe your husband was reading at 2.

I was sitting for my cousin, who at the time was 4-5 months old, and her dad (my uncle) was home for lunch. We were eating and all of a sudden she said “hi dad.” My uncle and I both looked at each other and he asked me if I heard her say “hi dad.” We both heard the same thing.

Harlow may not keep saying “hi” but apparently she said it. Cute story!

My lil girl was she exact same at that age she “said” Hi to me when I said “say hi to mummy” it was just a massive coincidence but I know exactly what Brenda Richie means by what she is saying

My godson is a few weeks over three months and he does the same thing.My friend and I were sitting there talking and he was sleeping on a mattress I had on my living room floor (I hurt my back and couldn’t climb the stairs). He was side, woke up, flipped himself onto his stomach and picked himself with his hands, but the rest of him wasn’t co-operating.He kept trying to move closer to us.It was so cute, he kept trucking to and fro trying to move closer until he finally got frustrated and started to cry.I think that we are all different and so are babies and pegnancies (that’s why doctors say stay away from books).

Grandmas are like that. My own grandmother thought her dog could say ‘mommy’…
