He's actually 17 months if we want to get specific. On his 1st birthday, I managed to get him to answer the question "X, how old are you?" with "Wah!", which only became an articulate "One!" around Christmas/16 months, which was also about the time he started being able to say 1 to 10. He actually is a pretty amazing kid. He's miles ahead of other kids his age, even some who are older. I wasn't expecting to be able to teach him counting until next year, so I'm being very relaxed about it right now and making it fun. He's 1, not 5, as far as I'm concerned, he can do what he wants, but if he's into it, I'll teach him.
