[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 15 month old does not really say any words.  She babbles and grunts/yells (in a cute way) all the time and she follows and understands commands and questions (like points to her belly if you ask her where is her belly).  She looks at me if her dad asks her where mama is, and comes to me if he asks her to go to mama, but she doesn't really call me.

Any tips on how to help her acquire and start using words?  Does this seem like she's behind?[/quote]

Behind by a smidge.  She should have one vague noise that she uses for the same thing “daaa” for dog counts, as would “wa” for the dog in an attempt to say wood).    You can have her evaluated for peace of mind but she is probably fine.  [/quote]

+1. It’s possible your kid is “taking” you just don’t understand them yet. I thought my 17 month old only had a couple words and was a little worried, then found out that, in the opinion of his 2 year old nanny share buddy, he’s talking “a lot”. [/quote]
