I think dd IS talking! and I am just not understanding what she says. what can I do?

[entropy]

I posted a few days ago about my dd (16 months) not talking from one week to the next and only saying things once, well....

I was round at a friends today and all her family heard her say oooh banana (we were talking about a trip to the co-op!) I just hear blahblahblah. I'm now worried she's talking and as I'm not understanding her she is giving up and going back to signing, which, I seem to understand better (odd as my sight is very poor) apart from camping out a friends house and using her as an interpreter what can I do??

She's your child - you will work out a way of communicating which works for you in the short and long-term! WHether that is signing ro a mixture of signing and verbal communication.

Assuming she is saying actual words (I swear my family had DS saying all sorts at a very youn age ) then she is using words she knows in context with other people.

It'll come!!

16 months?
Forget about it, ds2 is 18 months and I don't understand a word he's on about.
