Ditto Kim! DD has about 200-300 words, knows colours, can count to 20 (bit sticky between 15 and 18 lol) can say dozens of animals and tell you what they say, knows all kids of household words and object names (door, curtain, bath puff, car, house, clock, etc.) and descriptive words (Big, delicious, yummy, pretty etc.) and has started talking sentences recently ("i don't want to" "oh dear" "no mumma" "It's yummy" "kick the ball"). Writing it out like this i'm pretty impressed by her! LOL. My HV says she is above average for her age as she can also do all the physical things (kick a ball, throw overhand, build a tower of bricks, shape sort etc.) and usually they focus on one area, but i'm pretty sure 3 to 5 words is the expected range for an 18 month old.
