    R has quite a few clear words.  He confuses some sounds, but I can figure out what he is saying (ex. book=guck).  I've noticed that as he has added more words to his vocabulary, sometimes he runs the words together when he's talking and it sounds like babble.

    My DS only had 2 clear words at 16 months, just mostly babble. In the last month he finally started saying about 10 more words we can understand.

    DD is 18 months old and mostly still babbles. She gets some words in there, but most is still unintelligible. At 16 months she maybe had 15-20 words and now has about 30-40.

    I'm almost positive he is trying to speak but it sounds like babble to me. I clearly heard "get down" today when he wanted to get down from the highchair. Everything usually runs together and sounds the same.

    Mine babbles all the time, & the only words he says are mama & dada.  Our doctor was concerned that he didn't say real words yet, like "ball", "cup", etc., and if he isn't saying several clear words by 18 months, he will be referred to a speech specialist!  It's comforting to see that there are other babies his age that are at a similar level of speech, because all the babies I see his age are basically speaking in sentences!!

    The exact same thing was going on with my DD when she was your son's age.  (She's 19 months now).  We had her speech eval done, and she's milly delayed.

    DD mostly babbles.

    She also understands everything. I swear, everything. But she only has a few clear words.
