Hi
I have a nineteen month old son and believe me I always heard them say boys develop slower than girls and it's true. My son didn't say too much around 15months either. But now he is learning new words as quickly as I say them. However even though he repaets alot of the words he goes through phases where he will say things all the time then just stop and not say it again for a few weeks. Right now your son may not say much but give him a few more months and some repetitiveness with words and he will be greatly expanding his vocabulary!!! |

| I understand how you feel. My son is fifteen months and he just started to say bye-bye with me prompting him. He says da da but not ma ma yet. We continue to model for him and hope one day soon he will repeat spontaneously. (We've got the video camera ready :) I try to remember that he will learn at his own pace. |

My son was normal for everything at 15 months too, except height, he was nearly a head taller than others his age (and still is). It made it very difficult when we were out and about and everyone thought he was much older than he was and felt he should be talking up a storm. Well, he wasn't. He had a few words here and there, but he was nearly two when he starting really talking. We laugh when we say he waited until he could string an entire grammatically correct sentence together before he decided to talk. We laugh because it's true! We were told by others that this is completely normal and not unusual. He's also never stopped talking once he started - LOL!
Good luck, and know that my youngest is also following in big brother's footsteps. |

| My son is seventeen months old today, and says very few words....mama mostly, sometimes Dada, cat, flower (flaaaar), and a lot of babbling. I'm sometimes concerned as well, however my pediatrician said that's very normal, and I've heard boys start talking a little later than girls....our boys should be talking away in a few months. :) |

My son is also 15 months and for some odd reason we're a little concerned (not much) about the talking thing too. I think we realized not too long ago that he's ONLY 15 months old and to not be so stressed out about it :0)
Anyhoo...our son says dada, mom (when he's prompted), doggie (dodgie), bye-bye, up, all done (aahh duh), thank you (dee doo) and I think that's it. He imitates the sounds of some words, but sometimes they all sound the same. It's actually kind of cute.
I'm sure one day we'll look back and think "remember when they didn't talk so much? It was soooo quiet then." :0)

| My son is almost 17 months and isn't saying much. He makes noises, meow to the cat, roar when he sees animals on TV, says "get" "yep", "mama" He makes a lot of sounds, "ummm" when he eats or seems something he wants to eat. I was feeling like he was behind based on books and his Peditrician, but I had always heard boys were slower, so I'm just teaching him and hoping it starts to come out. I'm sure it will. |

| Every child develops differently, at their own pace. It's common for the first children in families to talk later. Are you pretty quiet by nature, or talkative? I was always really quiet in the house with my first child. He didn't talk really until he was 2 1/2! That didn't hurt anything at all in the long run! He's 9 now and has an awesome vocabulary even for his age. Don't fret! |
