My DS is about 6 weeks younger than yours & sounds almost identical temperament wise, he's always been a very easy going baby, great sleeper etc but lately his emotions are really extreme. We've been putting it down to frustration at his lack of ability to communicate with us. He is a very clever little boy (ummmmm....biased much? Lol). He understands most of what we say to him & can point to body parts etc & knows what's coming next when we are singing songs & joins in with the actions but he says virtually nothing.

He babbles a lot but very few words. He'll say brum when I ask him if he wants to go in the car, choo choo occasionally if we are reading the train book etc but he doesn't even call me mum, he knows how to say it but just doesn't ITMS? If he wants something he points at it & makes an 'uh uh' sound & i didn't realise til the other day when my mum said that I get everything he wants very quickly & maybe that's why he doesn't talk much. I don't know if that could be why or if he's just not ready yet?

Not sure if any of that has helped you at all though! I'd love to hear what others have to say as I'm not sure if there's something I could be doing o help DS along.

I hope someone has some good advice for you. I know I try not to compare my DS to others but it can be hard sometimes when other littlies his age are talking a fair bit.
