18 month old Vocabulary
"Gretchen" wrote in message ... 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! Chag sameach!

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. IIRC, my kids weren't saying much at all at 18 months. By 24 months, however, they had acquired quite a large vocabulary - past the point of where I could count the number of words. -- -Seth Jackson, proud father of Derek and Mariel(10/1/99).
