Also, babies can understand a lot before they're able to compose language.
My son told his first joke before he could form sentences. He was about 10 months old; I was getting him dressed, lying on the changing table. "OK, give me your hand." He lifted up one hand so I could put it into the sleeve. "And now your other hand." He got this sly grin and lifted his foot.
