I'm fairly concerned about ds2's speech now and want to seek some advice. Who should be the first point of call GP or HV?

Oops from me too 
.
Yes, he follows a point & will mostly look if I say look. Also notices things as keenly as anyone else eg today at the park a loud helicopter flew overhead, and he was looking like we all were. Just didn't point at it, but then neither did anybody else!

Meant to say also, he follows my finger to see what I am pointing at (this more within the last couple of months). he also drops everything & has a good nosy if anybody new comes into a room or he sees me looking at somebody else!

Some of you might find the following website useful. It gives you rough guidelines to what to expect of speech and language abilities for children at different ages along with a progress checker:

I would highly recommend the book BabyTalk by Dr Sally Ward.
Very useful tool on looking at and developing children's speech, language and communication skills. Most library's have a copy as well as them selling second hand on amazon.
Also the ican website is a very good resource.
