he's going on 20mos, and I can't say he really talks? he does the "momma, momma" sing song and makes "lots of noise" but no words that I would count? His hearing is great! and he takes direction very well
you can ask him to get momma's phone, and he does LOL or he'll hear a phone ringing, and take the right phone to the right person
The ped isn't concerned....yet
sigh Probably by his 2yr appt (late March) hopefully he'll be "talking" if not, we'll go from there.
His 11yr old ds had speech problems, and is still in speech, talks up a storm now but needs to slow down and pronunciate....
