I wish my little Sunshine had those many words, she's trying to say some, but they are not clear yet.

I tried working with him like saying "up" each time we put him in the highchair, or "down" each time I got him down, but fact of the matter is, they will say what they want to say when they want. Don't misunderstand me, many of his words are not clear. Water comes out wawa, slide is side, light is ite, but I know what he means, so I count them as words. We will see if his ped agrees at his 2 year check-up.

I have a great book, "What to expect : the toddler years" and it actually says how many words a toddler "should" be saying at almost every month. A 21 month-old "should" be able to use 6 words.

Betelnut - Thanks! I actually have that book, I just haven't given it to her to read (j/k), but 6 words only, really, then she's way ahead of the game. Thanks!

Her evaluation results came back as not needing services, but to get her retested at 2 yo if I'm still worried. Honestly I think she's good!
