DD i would possibly just monitor if he is ok with other noises and if you feel he is than i wouldn't worry. DS2 he's nearly 2.5yrs old and has only really just started saying things in the last couple of months, he was always behind what the CHN wanted so i just stopped taking because he was infront with everything else but that never seemed to matter. I was worried for a time there but now he sits with DS1 and says words and spells them too with help of course, some kids are just slower at talking.
He responds when I go 'Uhuh!' and it's usually pretty loud. He responds when I point to where I want him to go. His other words are 'num num', 'Um', 'Shop', 'Chip', 'Op' - which I'm guessing is Oops, 'Eer' - for is his way of saying here but only says that when he's handing you something.
I'm personally not TOO concerned, it's DH that's way more concerned than me. His worry has now sorta passed onto me and I feel horrible because I work so much and I miss so much.
DS responds to his favourite music. I tested it out by playing a video he usually bops to on Youtube on silent and he didn't do any, but when the sound went on, he smiled and bopped like usual.
LD - We say bubba sometimes, and buddy, but doesn't respond to those either. We usually call him by his name and (and this is going to sound bad!) I've called him (only a couple of times!) dummy - but he usually just laughs at that and walks away
He was supposed to have his CHN appt today but she was sick so they have to reschedule and the hearing question was the biggest one I was going to ask
Sorry I didn't answer personally, I thought an answer to cover everyone was good because everyone said basically the same thing
Thanks again, I think I'm going to have to show this thread to DH
It sounds like he has a good number of words for his age, so taht's a good sign. I can't remember, but I don't think DS really responded to his name till later either... it might just be a 'thing'.
It seems amazing that your little baby is up and walking and talking now!
