Don't need to worry, right?

I was noticing that DD isn't talking as much lately. She was using about 6-9 words regularly but since the holidays isn't talking as much, she still uses a few (mom, dad, hi, bye) but has stopped using others (done, more, etc.).

She has been working on physical stuff (climbing, steps, etc.) this is a phase right or should I worry? And she's teething like crazy (working on 3 that I can feel/tell are coming in) She's still a little cuddle bug and loves one on one playtime if that makes a difference.

She has her 18 month appt. next month and I'll certainly ask then but should I be worried in the meantime?

Garrison definitely dropped words after she mastered them.  I freaked a bit but now I can't get her to shut up ; )  So, I would say it's normal.

It's normal to focus on one area more. So if she's focusing on gross motor skills it makes sense that you won't hear as much speech wise.

Thanks, that's what I thought but it feels good to get confirmation.
