But everything I read indicates that he should be able to say at least one other word by the age of 1. Also, that he should be pointing to things, but he doesn't. Are there any other babies out there, that by age one they weren't saying any other words other that "mama" and "dada" and weren't pointing??--He has met all of his other milestones right on target and has just this last week started walking. I sure would appreciate your input...thanks!

She had alot of ear infections when she was an infant and it turned out it was affecting her hearing. Now she's a little chatterbox --------------------

The scale they base that stuff is just an estimate....Its not factual because every child is different. -------------------- Brianne Wife to Leithan and mommy to Mckaylee (4) and Russell (3) Click here to help us grown our village http://schwartzville.myminicity.com/

My daughter was the same way and she was almost 18 months when she started to really talk. she was behind in all her milestones but now she is right on target! --------------------

I so longed for that word!! She has had trouble hearing until recently when it suddenly cleared up so this may account for her late development of speech. My health visitor said they would not start worrying until she was 2 1/2. This post has been edited by kimberley on Oct 24 2006, 07:27 PM
