Can I just check with other owners of 18-month olds...

whether your child can do the following:

say more than 6 distinct words naming objects clearly enough to be understood by a stranger;
point to body parts in response to verbal instruction (ie. where's your nose?);
use a spoon competently to feed themselves;
spontaneously make animal noises in response to a picture in a book (eg. miaow at pic. of cat).

I only ask as dd2's development is a bit delayed, and I can't remember whether 18month olds can usually do these things.

Thanks!

Words: No. Not a chance.
18 month old the size of the average 11 month old: YES.
Animal noises... don't think so.
Body parts: maybe one or 2. Not sure.
Spoon: yes.

But mine were walking well at 18 months; walking isn't everything.
