[quote=Anonymous]OP here...thanks for all the great advice.  I asked my mom how I was when I was a baby since I did not start talking until I was past 2.  She said that although my expressive language abilities were delayed, my receptive language abilities were not.  For example, when I was 18 months old, if she had asked me to point to a particular type of animal in a picture, I would point to the right animal.  My son does not demonstrate that capability at 23 month.  I also asked DH to ask his mom how he was at DS's age, and apparently he had both receptive and expressive language delays.  Once he began talking, he had trouble with words such as aluminum or yellow.  His mom had to practice those words with him and get him to speak slower.  In addition, my husband is a little tongue tied and so is my DS (the pediatrician at the hospital noticed it).  I mentioned this early on to our regular pediatrician but she said not to worry yet because she has seen worse cases of tongue-tied.  If it was just expressive language delay, then I could attribute it to the tongue tie issue, but it appears more than that.  EI called today and said we will be contacted for an appointment within 10 days.[/quote]
