How many words does your 15 month old say?
Just out of curiosity how many words do your 15 month olds say? One of my friends her son knows where his nose is and head. DD hasn't quite out all of that but she does say quite a few words. Thank you!

Re: How many words does your 15 month old say?
Not that much. Mama, dada, kitty, all done. And he signs milk and more.
He clearly understands more than he says; we can say things like "where is the ball?" and he'll go find it.

Just jibberish here, but my daughter understands quite a few (like bath, strawberries, go 'bye bye', etc.). She will shake her head 'yes' or 'no' if I ask her simple questions.
People think I am silly, but I have a feeling it might be a while before she begins to talk. We can communicate pretty well, so I guess she doesn't feel much of a rush (not that I mind) lol.
DD (5 years old) from IUI in 2012
TTC 3rd and final!: IUI #1 in progress!
DD is 17 months and she's all over the map. Used to say ball and book and sign milk at around 12months, then forgot all that while she learned to walk, now still doesn't say ball and book, but says milk, daddy, diaper, bath, cracker, thank you, 'there you are' and 'here you go' ("ehr u ah" and "eer u oh"), working on please, says mama if prompted.... but understands anything you tell her and can communicate anything she needs with gestures and noises.
ETA: oh yeah, about body parts, DD has known her belly button, ears, and nose for a while, but in the last month or so she learned toes, feet, knees, bum, arm pits, elbows, hands, fingers, chin, cheeks, mouth, teeth, head and hair... it's really quite surprising.
ETAA: Oh yeah, she's said all done "ah dah" since around a year and said kitty "kiyee" since about 14 months. But she doesn't say all done much any more and we don't have a cat, so she doesn't say kitty much.

DH is Japanese, I'm Korean
He can clearly say a few words... mama, dada, no, and 'oh no'. He has a few more words like 'thanks', 'bye bye', 'all done' and 'yes' that are less coherent.
He definitely understands a lot of things like if you ask him where his shoes are he will go get them for you.
Baby #2 on the way!
She has a few signs
She's pretty advanced in the talking. She has a couple 20monthold boy friends who only have a couple words. They all develop differently.
At 15 months? 5. Now (18 months) at least 60. He has known most of his body parts for a while and lots of animal sounds.
I was really concerned at 15 months, and I kept reading all these posts like "it'll come, it'll come", and it did!
She can also identify head, toes, eyes and tongue, i.e. "stick out your tongue." And knows what sounds a sheep and snake make.
Not many yet.
She says "that" (bat) all the time when pointing. Which is super frustrating in the store because I have no clue WHAT she wants off the shelf.
She also says hi. She has said bye a few times--but not often.
She says more "muh"
No mom yet, although she has said daddy.
Right now she is big into mimicking though--she loves to mimic our actions--and is trying to do the hand motions of certain songs.
Mama, Dada, Cat, Dog, Milk, More, That, Wow. She tries to pronounce other words.
She does know where her nose, mouth and hands are, actually. At least she points to them when we say, "Where's your nose, etc.?"
My dr said she looks for 5-10 words at 15 months, 20 at 18 months. DD can say: kitty, mama, dada, hi, bye, dog, ball, baby. She signs nurse, all done, and more. And she tries to say a few animal sounds.
She knows belly button, tongue, eye, nose, and teeth.
It does come it bursts, I think. At 12 months all she could say was kitty.
DS says:
yes
no
mama
dada
buttercup (pet bunny)
uh oh
down
nana (daycare provider)
water and agua
bottle
some other things he says are pretty incoherent but consistent for one meaning.
he signs: milk, eat, more, water, all done, baby
DS will be 15 months in about a week. He signs all done, more, please, thank you. He says done, dada, mama, ball, down, boom (whenever he drops something or we go over a bump in the stroller), woof, ooh ooh aah aah (for monkey).
He can point to his head, hair, nose, belly, feet, toes, hands, fingers, mouth, teeth, ears and eyes.
I think it helps that DD is so verbal because he mimics everything she does.
He has about 20 that he has said, some in repetition, some appropriately, some regularly/some not. Most often, he says uh oh, no, daddy, doggy, eyes, hi, yay, go, ow (for ouch and out).
He has said or repeated (but not as regularly)-yes, stinky, yucky, thank you, cheese, trees, keys (all three of those sound the same "dees"), light, lion, mama, woah. The "d" sound is his favorite, so a lot of those words have a "d" substitution and most people wouldn't understand them. He signs all done, more, sleep and help.
He had a huge language explosion around 13 months, but once he started working on walking around 13.5 months, he slowed with saying new words (and some words he said before). He also points to eyes, nose, ears, mouth and feet.
mama, dada, Ax (Alex- his brother), Hi, bye bye, Gabba, uh-oh, mine/more (they sound the same but he uses it in different contexts), dah (done-All Done)
he is following many directions, but off the top of my head, those are the words he says

Phew!! I thought it was just us! :-)
Our 15 mo daughter has zero words but seems to understand many of our questions and directives ("go get the ball", "stand up", where's your head?", etc). But her dad and I were very late talkers, close to two years for both of us so we're not worried. She "talks" a million miles an hour in her own language and points at things while doing so, so she's clearly trying to communicate. We respond by first imitating her then saying the word of whatever she's pointing at and then taking her to it or giving it to her. That makes it sound like we have a plan but we don't. We're making it up as we go but aren't pushing. She also only took her first few steps yesterday so we're riding high on that right now. :-)
