Hi all
I am sure I am worrying about nothing, but was wondering about DS's speach lately. He is 13 months and largely not communicating.
He can say mumma, dadda and hiya -oh and DA of course, but they are all just random words. Mumma and dadda are to the cats or teddies as much as us, and virtually never used to the right parent. Hiya he uses in his car seat, and waves, but doesnt say it on arrival or anything.... Da is shouted at anything he wants.
Also, he doesnt seem to understand anything we say. The words food, drink, milk etc may as well be Greek to him.
He was an early mover, walking just before 11 months, and moving was his primary consideration, so I wasnt overly worried -I just figured he was focussing all efforts on that. 2 months on he is running, and moving brilliantly and has even had an outside walk, but the speach and understandng doesnt seem to be improving any.
My freinds DD ( I KNOW, I KNOW, dont compare LOL) understands things like "take the cup to daddy" or "would you like milk" and has about 10 words, yet Sam stays silent Sam....
Anyone else's LO the same, or does anyone have any great tips to help him improve on this?
Many thanks
