    Neither of mine were saying any words at that age. DD2 was about 20 odd months before she started saying words, DD1 more like 26 months. The main people in their lives (me, DH, and my parents) have always talked incessantly to/with them, read lots of books together etc so when their words came it was very slow to begin with but then oh my goodness they came!! Now at 4 and 5, I would love to find the off switch sometimes ;-)

    Oh and dont feel bad about her not saying mum, dad etc TO you. My son took forever to start doing that and even now he only says daddy and pappoo (grandpa in Greek) to DH and my dad. He rarely calls me mummy.
