Default 18 month old Vocabulary

Our pediatrician hoped for 30 words at 18 months, and 2-or-more-word
sentences by age 2.

As Helen notes, there's a lot of variation on this; I wouldn't worry at this
point, but I would keep an eye on it and bring it up if they don't have a
bunch of words by 2.

Hi...

What are you 18-24 month olds saying at this point? It seems like

Alexis was
saying much more then the babies are at this age.
Emma says "wow wow" for a dog, Agua for water and, sheesh for cheese

anytime
she sees a camera and daddy and mommy.
Aislyn says mama and cheese and nothing more.

Default 18 month old Vocabulary

Hi, my twins were bilingual and we expected that they would be pretty slow
in speaking b/c of this and their being twins. They were speaking in full
sentences by 16 months. OTOH, my singleton, Matan was evaluated at 20
months and has now started speech therapy. At 18 months he said "ema" and
"abba" (Hebrew for mama and daddy) but that's it, he also didn't point or
gesture. I guess there's supposed to be a big explosion of words between
18-24 months, and we didn't see that even beginning at 20 months, so we took
him for evaluation. He's "moderately to severely" delayed in both
expressive and receptive speech. Anyway, the pediatrician kept suggesting
that we wait another couple of months for him, but my gut feeling was just
that something was not right so I went ahead and had him checked. So far
we've only had 4 sessions but he's starting to point, use some simple signs,
say a few words, and this morning the biggie: "NO!" We were so proud. OK,
I'm not sure how this little story will help you, I just wanted to share.
We're hoping he'll continue to improve. By the way, Happy Easter to all of
you who celebrate!

Mine are now 1 yr and7 months.
He says a lot.
Mayim for water, abba for daddy, kitty for cat, parpar for butterfly, auto
for car and he calls his sister Guile for Abigail ( aviguile in hebrew), di
( as in Lady Di) for stop or no, up for up.



She uses less but understands everything
