Still barely talking

in October 2011 Moms

Can anyone commiserate? I've heard it's fairly normal for boys, but it is stressing me out. He has about 4-5 words - mama, dada, nana, bowow, and then he says lala for anything that interests him (no idea why). He's doing great with his other milestones, and I think he is normal developmentally besides this, but it still makes me worry. He's also taken to biting, probably because he's frustrated by his inability to express himself verbally. Fun times.

    I find that my DD says the same words over and over and then every now and then slips a new one in...to the point where we say "did she just say that?" And then she won't say that new word again for awhile.

    Also, DD had a sudden talking spur

    We're in the same boat with DD. She babbles a ton and uses signs, makes animal noises but only says a handful of words.  I wish I could say it didn't bother me, but I'd be lying.  We have our 18 m checkup in a week so we'll see what the pedi thi

    Same here. I was worried the pedi would make a big deal about it at her 18 month appt, but she really didn't. I've heard they may have a language explosion closer to 2 anyway. She says mama, dada, uh oh, wow, ooh, and babbles/talks constantly they're j

    DS isn't talking either. Like hardly at all. He says dada, but that's about it. He says uh oh and wow sometimes, but those are really infrequent too. A few months ago he was saying mama and dog infrequently, but hasn't said either since.

    DS just had a huge vocabulary burst, but is behind in some other areas (growing). When I worked for a 0-3 year old early head start program we used the ASQ and ASQ-SE forms to identify any possible concerns for each child.

    ASQ is for communicati
