So we got our B&G this last summer and have had him for about 7 months. He has adjusted very well and he is almost 9 years old. When we first got him he talked quite a bit more than he is talking now. Especially when we would take him out and about. He would say HI to everyone no they are few and far between. Also in the car he wouldn't shut up now he just dances and talks a little but not like before. And at home at bed time he used to talk alot and that has went down too. So should I be concerned. He does go thru spurts where he hollers about pretty much nothing that he never did before but it isn't constant by any means. It's usually when we get home or right away in the morning when he is impatient for his breakfast. We are trying to no reinforce his screaming by ignoring it. What do you all think? He seems pretty darn happy from what I can tell.
