Ever since Alex was born we decided that we were not going to baby talk him. We talk to him just like we talk to each other. Now, at almost a year and a half, he acts like he is having a conversation with us. We just don't know what he is saying yet.

Also when he does something wrong we sit him down and explain to him what he did and why it is not okay. If felt funny at first but it works. Babies and Toddlers are so much smarter than we realize. Try it with your baby next time you need to tell him/her no. It also makes everyone feel better if they know what was done wrong.
