Hailey is 22 months old

Hailey turned 22 months old yesterday. As of now, she still does not want to talk. She gestures and makes sound effects to tell you what she wants. We went to Boracay last week, and Hailey loved it there. She is a true water baby. She loved the beach, playing in the sand and swimming in the sea. She is not afraid of getting water in her eyes and even liked the big waves. During our stay there, she had a new word. I was making bread and cheese and she said cheese. We bought a lot of ref magnets from boracay, mostly fish with some turtles, starfish and other sea creatures. Just today, she was playing with the magnets and said "turtah" for turtle. We asked her to repeat what she said and she did so. She probably knows a lot of words but refuses to say it aloud. She'll be 2 years old in a few months. Hopefully, she'll be speaking by that time.
