My 15th month old doesn’t name objects. Should I be worried?

She used to say the words papa and mama. Now she says them but less than before. She doesn’t associate us with those names though. She imitates a lot of animal noises from a book she has. If I ask her ‘ how does a sheep baa?’ She goes ‘baaa’. And does this for several animal noises. However when I point to the book and ask her where is a sheep (for example), she doesn’t understand. I ask her where is mom, where is dad etc but she’s unable to answer. A few months ago, she would systemically turn around when I called her name. Nowadays she turns around but less so, she is so engrossed playing
she seems to be hitting all other milestones
however, the fact that she doesn’t name objects or people has me worried. Should I be concerned?

Completely normal, once they learn something new and try it a few times it loses its appeal and they move onto the next skill.
Really don't need to worry so young.
