Developments!

I think Jamie may be talking more. "More" as in "more English", I mean. He has been talking all along, but not saying anything a normal human could understand. If he DID speak English, it would really only be to repeat a single word that someone else had just said (luckily, a curse word was never the single word that he would hear/repeat, although how he managed to escape those still perplexes me, given the amount of exposure he has to them). Now, however, he will string two (or more!) words together without hearing someone else say them first. It's a breakthrough!

Here are some example conversations:

Me: Where is your sock?
Jamie: Sock downstairs.

Greg (trying to corral kids into the bathtub): Come on, let's go!
Jamie: Caity! Caity! Bath!

And this is the best one (so far), from tonight:

Me (hearing a voice outside) : Shhh. I think I hear something.
Jamie: A noise? The noise is Daddy.

Seriously. Sometimes he can get crazy like that and put 4 words together! Chances are high that anyone else would not understand what he's saying, but I understand him and he's saying actual words!

My triumph is somewhat nauseating, I know. But I've been waiting so long for this moment...
