[quote=jjconcern]He is definitely on track for talking at 16 months as many of the responses to your post expressed. As a side note, my grandson didn't really begin to talk until almost 3 except for echoing other peoples words. As a school psychologist I was very concerned but at 3 he had a large expressive vocabulary and was a very gifted student who is now 24 employed as an engineer. I realized after observing him throughout the years that he was one to observe and listen carefully rather than being quick to speak. I realized he had been observing and listening for three years because by the time he was talking he was an interesting conversationalist. So personality and temperament also play a role in language performance. As a rule, boy's language doesn't develop as quickly as girls and the youngest child doesn't talk as quickly as a first born child since there is less need to as their needs are often anticipated.[/quote]
