You're missing the point.   He doesn't really call her any version of mom or anything other than yell for her.

Op, I was a SAHM and using any version of "mom" to call for me was definitely delayed with DS.   He would say "daddy or dada" or "papa" for my parents.   But it took awhile of coaching when he would yell for me of me saying "oh do you want mama?"   I don't mean to say this to imply your Ds has a speech delay, but this was when he was around a year.    Do you think it may be worth having him evaluated to make sure it's not something more?[/quote]

OP here. Thanks. Yes, we talked about an evaluation, but in the past month he's been adding more words to the point now where he's pretty close to normal.

I know he can say it -- I've heard him -- he's just choosing not to. And to the other commenter, I thought the same thing for a while, that he doesn't see us as separate, but I would think he's moved beyond that developmental stage (of not seeing where he ends and I begin). But Lord knows I'm with him enough! And that's what kind of burns...he excitedly calls out the damn cat's name but I get nothing![/quote]
