I have posted about this before, but it need to know what everyone's LO is doing.
I have taken ds to two ENT'S and they have both told me the same thing, that LO's ear are fine, he's not tongue tied. I am getting worried about the lack of words that he is not saying.
The words he says:
Daddy
Lilly
Mickey, but you can't hear the M sound
Bye or bye bye
What is that? It's not clear.
Yes or yeah
Thank you, hums it more than says it.
For Sofia, the show...he says the end of it, like ia.
He will call daddy, but not once has he called mommy.
Is anyone else dealing with a non talker? He wants to babble more than anything. Like, he talks, but it's not real words.
He doesn't go to daycare. He's with me all day. We do go to the park, mall, my sisters house.
Re: Non talkers.
DD2 has some words. But most stuff is kind of muffled. Like, she sings Let It Go but the words aren't clear, at all. But the sounds are there.
I might be naive but I trust the doctors schedule for appointments for developmental things. At 24 months when she goes for her check up if the doctors are concerned then I will be too. But not until then.

I agree with PPs. They all develop at differant rates and from what I've heard the 2nd birhtday is a huge milstone, and alot of kids really start talking more then.
Also, if your LO sees that you are stressing over it or "forcing" the issue of talking, they might be more reluctant. Kind of like potty training!
I second @annieluvsjordan 's recommendation of using Baby Signing Time DVDs. Most libraries have them if you don't want to buy them (and they might be on NetFlix too). We started watching them around Thanksgiving / Christmas time and DD LOVES them. She started picking up a few signs right away and now she knows a TON! We watch them together and I reinforce the signs in everyday situations (pointing to a dog/car/etc and saying the word and doing the sign). I found that she would use the sign for something before she even tried to say the word for it. But now she tries to say most of the words that she knows signs for. I've really seen an increase in her vocabulary since we started watching them. Plus its fun!
Also as others have mentioned alot of the times she doesn't say the whole word ... I think its normal for them to repeat just the last syllibal of a word for a while before they actually start saying the whole word. And because she's not saying the whole word, most outsiders can't uinderstand what she's saying. Even DH has a hard time understanding her sometimes!

At 20-week anatomy scan found IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction), and very low Amniotic Fluid. Now, I'm High Risk and have weekly ultrasounds to monitor fluid and growth. If baby runs out of room or is too growth restricted, they will deliver ASAP. My current goal is to make it to 28 weeks!
