My son came home the beginning of April at 12 months old. He will be 18 months next week and he hardly says any words. He was speaking a handful of words but completely quit talking about 2 months ago. He understands everything and is very vocal. He is also just starting to walk on his own (about 5 steps at a time).
Our doctor said he will not be concerned with his speech until he is two.
We just brought our daughter home a little over a month ago and this is definitely affecting him, for the good I think. I have a feeling that she may bypass him in everything even though he is 10 months older than her. We shall see.
I would not worry yet.
