North reads at 7 1/2 months

If, after hearing this story, you don't believe North was really reading, that is fine with me. Mine is only a guess that he was reading.

On September 5th we were at Fred Meyer shopping for a birthday card for Jenni. Going down the card aisle, I parked his stroller facing a card section with the word "Mommy" printed several times. He starts saying "momma momma". Previously he has ONLY said this at the time of day when his mom is due to arrive from work. So he does not just say this any random time.

I was dumbstruck and didn't know how he could really know what the word was. Later I told Jenni, and she made a connection. North's video he watches the most is a sign language tutorial, and they say "Mommy", show the word "Mommy" and do the sign.

I think he knows that word, including when it is in print.
