Awww, happy half-birthday little guy!
Don't worry about the talking thing, Deb. At 18 months Tristan was still only speaking a few words, now 8 10 months later (holy shit time flies!) he's speaking whole sentences and using pronouns correctly, even to the point of correcting himself when he catches himself using one incorrectly (a big deal for a kid who for months referred to himself as "you".)
So far as I can tell, he's 100% guy, too. The other day I heard something when he was in the next room and I wasn't sure what it was (sounded like furniture being pushed around, honestly) and I called out, "What was that, bub?" and he responded, "That was just me farting."
