My mom tells me that I didn't make a single sound at all until I was past 2 years old. No baby babble, no trying to talk, nothing. Then suddenly I began to talk in complete sentences, like "I would like some milk". They were totally shocked. Mom has a scrapbook on each of her kids up through around 12 years old, and from mine I remember stuff as early as 1~2 years old, such as our little black Scottish Terrier named Blackie. I remember being traumatized when they abandoned Blackie in the country because my little sister was terrified of him. I remember watching him through the rear screen door of the camper, running after the truck. That memory is still clear as day to me as an adult. I was 2. Poor Blackie could not keep up with the truck as he ran after us. It's really weird to find out how young you were.
