    She sounds perfectly normal to me
    Just try to stop comparing her. You don't need to compare, she's perfect.
    Everything she's doing is just what babies do, she's testing her boundaries, totally normal.

    C, I'm sorry this is such a worry for you It must be extra stressful when you compare her - she had such a different start to everyone else.
    Honestly, she sounds pretty normal to me. I agree with Audax.
    Language-wise, she's probably ahead of my son at the same age.
    The tantrums etc, that's quite normal, especially if she's feeling frustrated about things. Have you tried sign language at all? It can help bridge the gap till they're able to talk more.

    Try to give yourself a break, if you can. Sometimes being a mother and being a housewife are two mutually exclusive activities.
