I know that you are right, and they do develope in their own time, I just worry alot about him. I didn't worry too much with his older brothers, they were pretty close to the norm on everything, sometimes a little ahead. And it doesn't help that my Hubbies family (cousins mostly) have kids close to his age who are doing things quicker, there is alot of comparison going on among the families. Thank you again, I'll try to relax and let him do things his own way.Messed up Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262261305195520008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563056.post-1094816658365924302004-09-10T04:44:00.000-07:002004-09-10T04:44:00.000-07:00Akra Jr was a late talker.

His first word was at 15 months (funnily enough, same week as his first steps) and he quite slowly accumulated words but I did worry a bit.<br /><br />Then just after his second birthday he got very verbal - he spoke a seven word sentence ("Lofty dropped water tank down the hill" - a Bob Builder fan ;) ) at an age they're only supposed to be able to say 2 word sentences. Then there was a while he didn't seem to gain any new words/verbal abilities. Now, just after a huge verbal growth spurt at three years old, we've been told by a Health Visitor that he has the verbal skills of an "average" four year old.<br /><br />What I'm trying to say is, they develop at their own pace - and more importantly what they're like now is completely unrepresentative of what they might be like in a month, six months or even a year's time. The fact you say Aidan is pointing, making noises and saying some words strikes me that there's nothing fundamentally wrong there - he knows about communication and language. He'll catch up when he's ready.<br /><br />Pewari.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563056.post-1094791486467739912004-09-09T21:44:00.000-07:002004-09-09T21:44:00.000-07:00Thank you for stopping in, and for the incouragein...Thank you for stopping in, and for the incourageing words. Aidan is almost 19 months old. He says Dada, and makes alot of other sounds. When he points at things he says something that sounds like see, but I'm not sure. He doesn't say Mama at all, but I think he might be calling me something that sounds like May. He chatters all the time, it's just not anything I can understand. I'm trying to relax about it, at least until his next Dr. Appointment in February, he will be two then so hopefully he will be talking more by then. Again, thank you for the encouragement. I bookmarked your blog and will be checking in as often as possible.Messed up Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262261305195520008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563056.post-1094785703780811842004-09-09T20:08:00.001-07:002004-09-09T20:08:00.001-07:00My daughter is 2 1/2.

I asked my cousin who is a speech pathologist and she said some kids are just late bloomers with speech, especially if they are very physical(which my daughter definitly IS). Between the age of 2 and 2 1/2 she has just exploded with language. In fact, she now speaks English very well, and knows some Chinese(she was born in China and we try to expose her to the language)Finnish(from hearing her Daddy and Grandparents talking) and lots of Spanish(her babysitters are from Honduras).Ohjeezehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430956325164412886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563056.post-1094785702699556262004-09-09T20:08:00.000-07:002004-09-09T20:08:00.000-07:00My daughter is 2 1/2.
