2 year old not stringing words together

DS just turned 2 in September. He probably says somewhere around 100+ words, but doesn't string any together. If he's repeating something I just said, he'll said the last word of what I said, or he'll combine words. For example, he'll say mere (come here) and min (come in). Is this normal for his age?

    At DS' 2 yr. check-up, Dr. asked if he was saying 2 word sentences. He was barely doing it then. He had just started talking more at the end of August. Now he says 2 word sentences all the time and once in a while he will say a 3 word sentence. He repeats EVERYTHING he hears right now. It was just like all of a sudden that he started talking too (back in August).

    If I were you I don't think I would be worried just yet. Give him some more time. If he isn't saying 2 word sentences by 2 1/2 then I would be worried. 

    I know that the checklist for 3 years old for my Dr said 3 word sentences at 3 years old.

    at ds's 2 year well baby he had maybe 25 words TOTAL. Since then (8/16) There isn't anything he does not say. he strings 2 and 3 words together, it was literally like overnight!

    Give him a few months, I think he'll be doing it very very soon!!

    at 2 ds would say love you, thats mine, goodbye, hi mumma...things like that (he also spoke hundreds of words).  my pedi said if by 2.5 he wasnt using sentences (of at least 3 words) that we would consult with EI. 
    about a month or two after his birthday, out of NO where, he started talking in sentences.  he is now 32 months and his vocabulary and speech is amazing!!
    give it time..they really do just explode all at once! :)

    In early intervention they told me as along as by the time the child turns 3 they are putting 2 word phases together than you are okay.  3 yo's need to be putting 3 word phases together, etc.  If you are still worried though I would definitely talk to the pedi.  If never hurts to get your child evaluated.

    Boys tend to be a little slower then girls.  I certainly wouldn't worry right now.  If he's still not getting it in the next 6 months give a call.

    DS started putting 2 words together a couple of months after his bday out of nowhere.

    DS1 just recently started using some 2 word phrases - get down, sit down, socks on, calm down (for the dog), light off, etc. It really did happen overnight it seems.  He has also within the last week or so started repeating the last word of a sentence he hears.  Give him a little more time before you start worrying!
