Mom's notes in baby book: "Michele had Ds and Gs mixed up, insisted on Guck for Duck and talked about the "dolf horse" across the street. Also had trouble with Yellow (Lellow), and at Christmas liked driving around to the the 'pretty yights.' Didn't walk until about 13-14 months. old."
They told me that they practiced with me, but while I could say Daddy, it was always "Daddy, Daddy, guck, guck." Don't know how long it took unil I could speak clearly.
