Some kids focus on different things. He is obviously a hands on child. It sounds like he is very smart and you should be proud of that. Everything your son knows...is because you have shown it to him. Even though we want our children to be the best at everything, even at a young age, they tend to pick and choose what they want to do. Sometimes when they are more advanced in one particular area, they tend to lag in another. I wouldnt worry about it unless your doctor is worried. Jibber Jabbering is language, and it is him trying to mimic sounds. You should be very proud though that he is so advanced with hands on skills. Most kids cant pick things up very well at that age yet, and he is actually pushing buttons, knows the responses he will get from different things, etc. You are doing a great job. Dont give up, and just keep talking to him in a regular adult language. If you use baby talk it encourages them to use it as well. Good luck!!!
