Vocabularies

Amberrrr · July 2013

I'm not quite sure what to expect with vocabulary.
My child can say cat, meow, momma, daddy, beep, boom, book, wow, what's that, bug, night night
Now that I think about it I suppose he can say quite a bit, and working on other and bigger words
I'm just wondering what is happening in the vocabulary area and if he should be speaking sentences, or more? Or is he good?
FTM!

My daughter only says 5 or 6 words. She will be 17 mo on the 28th. Her receptive language is excellent. She understands everything we say, but her expressive language is slower to develop. We really started noticing that this week and are making a conscienous effort to use words around her like up, down, milk, ball ect instead of just giving her what she wants. Ill also plan to bring it up at her 18 mo appt if things don't pick up.

My 18 month old says less than five words. But like PP said, his receptive language is great. I am not concerned and neither was his doctor at his appointment on Monday. I'm giving it another month, and if there isn't any increase in words, maybe I will start to get concerned. But his brother was a late talker and won't stop talking now, so I think DS2 is just fine. If your LO is saying all those words, I think everything is fine. My pedi says at 18 months they want them to be saying 5 to 15 words

DS has about 7-10 words, 2 of which are signs.

We had a doctors appt last week and they asked if DD was saying 4-10 words. That's it. So he sounds like he's doing great.

Our daughter definitely isn't an early talker! But my parents gave me my own baby book, and I saw that at 17 months, I had one word "ga," which I applied indiscriminately to anything I wanted (usually food, apparently!)

As you may all have seen on this board, I definitely don't have a problem talking now!

If she doesn't have 10 words by our 18 month check-up, I will ask the doctor. But until then, not worried at all. As many PPs have said, she understands so much of what we are saying and finds ways to tell me what she wants.

Ramona says around 25 words, but that is pretty recent. It was 10 or 15 a couple weeks ago. A few phrases, but no sentences yet.

Allison has a lot of words. I stopped counting a long time ago because it was just silly to count after 10 or so. But she isn't making sentences yet, other than "ready, set, go" or "1, 2, 3" type of phrases. Occasionally she will say "What's that?" but usually it is just "that."

I just read something (sorry, I don't remember where) that said sentences come around 24-30 months.

We're in the same boat. He can understand pretty much everything we say but doesn't really talk yet. My DH and I both didn't start talking until we were 2 so maybe he'll be like that too.
