15 month stats

mcvgal · February 2013

So we went in a little early, but my LO is finally gaining some weight. At his appointment yesterday he weighed in at 23 lbs 9 oz and length was 31.5 inches

We go to a preemie specialist and they said that in 6 months the want him to be saying about 20-25 words. Does that sound about right to you all? 20-25 words for 22 months. I feel like that's the one area we may be behind on but the specialist said not to worry that he will pick up on the words soon now that he's walking

The specialist is right, that's about where he should be for a 2 year old. The older they get, the more they pick up. And they can pick 2-3 words a day. If you want to be more involved, write the words down that he starts to say. Then review those words every week so those words are easier for him to remember. With DD, we also did animal sounds (What does a cow say?)

Your LO sounds like he's doing great!

Whoa! Your LO may be a preemie, but he sounds bigger than my DD who was 2 weeks past her due date (and 8lbs at birth)! We go for her 15 month appt next week but I think she's just shy of 23lbs and maybe 31 inches. So your little guy sounds like he's doing pretty good to me!

20-25 words sounds like a lot to me, but my DD is behind in speech. Or almost. I was told they are considered "late talkers" if they haven't had their first word by 15 months. So DD has a few days, I guess, but she still hasn't said her first word. (Though she's been saying "dada" a lot and I *think* she means daddy w/ it, but she hasn't said it to him or if I ask a question about him, she doesn't say dada so who knows.....maybe it's still babble.) But DD *just* started walking too (two weeks ago) so I'm hoping her language development will start soon too.

DD was 28 lbs 12 oz at her last appt. and I can't remember her length. She can say mama, dada, dirty and hi. But she is not much with the talking.

DD2 was 24.3lbs and 31.25" - she is finally slowing down her weight gain now that she walks and gets minimal rice cereal. DD2 currently says about 20 words. If I remember right, my pedi wants her patients to be saying at least 10 words by 18 months and 20-25 by 2 years.

DD's 15 month check-up is tomorrow so I'll have stats then. But she's certainly not talking very much. She understands a lot, points to a lot of body parts, and can do a few signs. For her to get to 20-25 words in a few months seems like a bit of a stretch, but I suppose she'll get there!

gracefulruby33 · February 2013

Our appt. is tomorrow as well. I am anxious to see how big she has gotten. I will update tmrw!

ETA: DD weighed in at 23 lbs. .5 oz. (80%) and measured at 30" (30%ish). Our pedi wasn't at all concerned with her only saying 'mama' right now. She babbles a ton, mimics me, follows directions, points out certain stuff, can put a block into a cp and some other stuff that was n the check off sheet for milestone stuff.

DS is 22.6 lbs and 30.5 inches. I feel like he is a little peanut! It doesn't help that DH is 6'4" and everyone assumes he should be way taller.
As far as talking, he says about 30 to 40 words. He wasn't saying even one word at his 12 month appointment and at about 13 months it just clicked for him one day and he hasn't stopped talking since!

DS1 had his 15 month last month. I can't remember exact numbers, but he was 23and some pounds and about 30 inches. DS doesn't really say anything and our doc offered early intervention specialist, but I declined because DS1 has just started walking and I think once he figures that out he will concentrate on talking. If he isn't talking by 20 months then I will probably look into early intervention.

We don't go until the 22nd, but she's around 20 lbs and about 29 inches. (tiny but growing)

She says about 10-15 words.

smilelari · February 2013

DD's 15 month was today. She's exactly 18 lbs (1%) and 30 in (40%). Only area of concern is that she isn't walking or cruising yet. But pedi checked her reflexes (good) and based on that and the fact that she's pulling to stand and scooting feels that it's just a matter of time. 20-25 sounds like a lot, but most kids have a word explosion sometime before age 2. I'm sure he'll get there!

LO was 25.4 lbs and 30in. He says a bunch if words: momma, dada, Zoe , nana, pawpaw, meme, poppy, eyes, ears, head, toes, bot bot, juice, etc. he knows his body parts eyes, ears, teeth, mouth, head, feet, nose, etc and can point to each one and say them by name.

alyss0nl · February 2013

We had his 15 month checkup today. 23lbs 13oz and 31in. He says mom, dada, ball, dog, hi, whoa, and wow. That's all I can think of at the moment. But I can tell he is really trying to communicate with us.
