So, after the explanation, I was okay with eating the pureed vegetables. Even though I wasn't talking yet, I understood every word she said.
When company would come over to visit, I remember them asking: "Are you sure he doesn't understand what we're saying, he looks like he understands".
And both my father and sister (at different times) said, "no, he doesn't understand." So I believe, from my own experience, that babies are a lot smarter than most people give them credit for.
