2 yr old not talking- Janice

[Guest guest]

The baby is 18 months on the 11th of Feb and he has 3 word sentences now.

I was just amazed as I asked him Friday am if he had fun with grandma

last night? he replied and said " No, sit rock " Meaning grandma

rocked him all night. I know grandma had fun as she just had 1, the

other 3 were with me.

Also, I asked who is poopy? He replied and said " baby is " and he was!

He has lots of 2 word combinations, Hi Daddy , Hi Mommy- water now,

here, there etc..., can name all of his sibs, and attempts a lot of words.

There is a HUGE language explosion around 15 months and then again

around 2yrs old. It is so fun that he is experiencing it, unlike his

older 2 brothers.

I would push on the young couple as I was a young mom the first time

and didn't know to even be concerned.

Also the earlier therapy starts the better. #3 started therapy at 2yrs

old and is now 3 and close to being discharged - hopefully July.

#2 started at 3 yrs old and has at least 2 more years. We have already

completed 2 yrs UGH

#4 18 months - is just along for the ride and talking up a storm! He

attempted Cell phone the other day.

#1 is a wonderful high maintenance neuro-typical girl.
