My almost 2.5 year old isn't a big talker, I'm getting his hearing tested just to rule that out...but my gut is telling me he is fine. As for a genetic thing, my mother tells me I was not very verbal until I was about 3 years old. I actually remember people asking if I was mute!

I can't remember how many words Moo was saying at your son's age, but he only says about 25 now. He seems to say a word (like the time he came out with a very clear 'banana' quite young!) and not say it again too. knowing my son and his personality, I feel that this is due to needing to perfect everything and not seeing a need to do something once he has mastered it itms?

Good luck
