My DD is 17mo and has been talking from a very young age.... while her other little friends were all learning to crawl she was focusing on her language and communication skills! And she then caught up with the crawling, walking etc!!

Honestly, they all are so different.... as long as you are reading to him alot, singing to him, playing music around him, communicating with him as much as you can, he will eventually learn language skills....... when I change DD's nappy I say to her "c'mon lets change your nappy"... for example... I talk to her all the time. I'm a chatterbox though you'll find out on Fri night haha

Practising animal noises with him also helps too..... like show him a picture of a cow and say "what does a cow say? Mooooo" then let him try and copy you! I did that with DD from when she was 7mths old and she'd start copying me!!

I do LOTS of music with my DD and we go to a weekly music class. I honestly think that has really helped my DD with her talking as we get lots of comments on how well she talks (she can say 3 word sentences, shes only 17mo!) and I think it's because we've always done so much music..... research has shown it helps alot with language development.

There are lots of things you can do with him to help him along and music is just one of those He is only little, and boys do develop differently to girls also remember.....
