"Saying a few words"

This understatement very much upset your parents, Noah. At your one year check (which happened to be closer to 15 month check), the nurse was very impressed with your progress. She asked your mummy questions like, "If you point to something, does he say what it is?" To which your proud mum said, truthfully,

"Well, if we ask him to go and collect something and put it away somewhere else, he understands how to do that. He's been able to do those kinds of things for months. He will pretty much try and say any words we say to him."

The lady wrote in your notes, "Saying a few words." 

We appreciated this understatement very much, as you can imagine.
