I love it.  LOL.
I wonder what were my first intelligible words.
Reminds me of Son #1's first word combo that I remember.  He was 19 months old and I had just brought Son #2 back from the hospital after his birth.  Son #1 was very interested in everything about the new baby.  I was changing new baby's diaper and Son #1 got a really good look and said very clearly, "Good Grief!"  (something that I said quite often, as did my mother)

I can really relate to this. You don't want to know how old I was before I spoke! LOL

That was worth a few dollars Pat. In a movie the guy would have given her a reward,

Re: Has she remained a quiet person, or did that open flood-gates?

 She's not overly talky, and what she says is 99% of the time logical, well-considered and once she's formed an opinion, that's it.

Has she remained a quiet person, or did that open flood-gates?

I heard of a boy who didn't speak until he was 5, and then it was at the dinner table: He was looking at a plate of over-cooked spinach and suddenly, clearly, said, "I can't eat that sh-t."  Of course, everyone flipped out over his speaking, and someone finally asked him why he'd never spoken up before. He said, "Up to now, everything has been all right."

That was quite the time to start talking.
