My DD is 20 months old today. We had a playdate yesterday with a little girl exactly the same age, who we hadn't seen since before Christmas.
I'd wondered before if my little girl wasn't saying very much, but I have no family or friends here with children the same age (except this one little girl) and have no other DCs, so I have no comparison.
My DD is very lively, bright, cottons on to things quickly and talks all the time, except that she's not yet saying actual words! I know she doesn't have a hearing problem, as she can hear a packet of biscuits being opened from 300 yards away!
Her words are: bye, no, oh boy, uh oh, all gone, daddy, mow (trying to say the cat's name) & on a couple of occasions we've had a yes or fifi (flowertot). I think that's about it. The little girl yesterday used words a lot more - up, here, bad, eat, take it etc etc and it really stood out for me how little my DD actually says.
Could you tell me anything you remember about how and when your LOs started to speak? If I'm expecting too much, fine, but it'll put my mind at rest (hopefully!). Thanks.
