Don't Panic
18 months: Saying 50 words; using verbs; asking "What's that?" to get name recognition
I read this today on Parents.com and am a little worried. We need to start reading more or something. I know that bilingual children develop language slower, but still am a little worried. I also know that each kid develops at their own rate.
Current words:
Mama (everything is mama) (food, drink, something he wants, me)
Dada (Robert)
Nana (Robert's mom - Connie)
Gigi (Great Grandmother - Dana)
Papa (food or grandfathers)
Wawa (dogs, which when you say dog he understands and says wawa)
Baba (Ball)
Lela (Elena or Lola)
Ego (Diego)
Oush (Ouch).
That's about it. He definitely doesn't say verbs or "What's that?".
I am sure that he will catch up, but maybe we really do need to start working on this a little more.
He had his 18 month Doctors appointment this morning and got his Hep A shot. :( I wish I would have read that yesterday to ask Robert to bring it up with Dr. Phillip. Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda.
Well, tonight starts 18 month old home-work lessons. Just Kidding - Surely he will catch up or just call everything Mama for the rest of his life!! After all, Mama is a great word.
