[quote=Anonymous]Does she make animal sounds, like moo and meow? At this age, those count as words. Also, words count even if she mispronounces them if the meaning is clear. Does she greet people when you have company? If so, she is talking even if it’s nothing particularly meaningful. Even at 18 months, it’s much more important that children have receptive language (can follow verbal prompts and commands) than expressive language (using words to communicate something to someone else). I was a SAHM who spent practically every minute with my twins. They didn’t call me anything for the longest time because they had no trouble getting my attention without saying mama/mommy. Not only was mama not one of their first words, but I don’t think they used it until they were speaking in sentences.[/quote]
