Kathleen talked well before 2 and Chris not until 3!!!He did understand
everything but verbalized almost next to nothing. Yes, he ended up getting
early intervention, eventually 2 years of speech pathology until 3rd grade
and now only has a slight "accent" but certainly will talk your ear off if
you let him.

I won't say don't worry but do seek out help and get an assessment. But
don't panic.

Good luck

Marie,
My twins were born at 33 w 3d and will be 2 on Tues. They still do not
talk "real" words that much. They "talk" constantly to each other in
their own language. They understand EVERYTHING we say, but only say a
handful of words we understand. I am not worried. I hear twins talk
later b/c of the "twin language" thing. We are involved in an assesment
program, too, but they are so backed up, they won't get their 24 mo.
assesment until Jan. I wouldn't wory so much, but let us know how they
do.

Mommy to wonder twins
