    God my DD is nearly 16 months, she only has 3 words but does seem to understand a fair bit. I think she still has a bit of a way to go though to meet all the things on the list.

    Find familiar objects that are not visible when asked (Where is your shoe?)yep does this I ask him where is your water and he finds it
    Choose two known objects from a group when asked never tried this one except if you count telling him to push the red button on a a toy
    Understand at least 50 words spoken by an adult I think we would be close
    Point to at least 6 body parts or clothing items no wayI really should start this though
    Follow a 2-part direction with one object (Go get your cup and put it in the sink)yep as above I can tellhimt o get his water and have a drink or ok mate nappy change and he will head to his room
    Expressive language skills expected of a 15-18 month old can include:

    Saying 10-15 meaningful words mum, dad, dog, he signs for drink, what, huh, uh oh, lo (hello) ta ta (bye) these are everyday words used in context except what is also a everything word like no for some kids
    Use words rather than pointing or pulling this last week he will say up and raise his hands when he wants to be picked up
    Asking "More" and "What's that?" as I said signs for milk, and will also say huh when looking at a book so sought of
    Labeling multiple objects when asked nope
    Imitating adult speechhe tries hard you can see him mime words and then he tries to say it, for example boat, boo bird etc

    so Jack is doing fairly well I suppose
