My very own experience. I only grunted for things until the day before my third birthday when my mum came down stairs and found me on the phone to my Nan telling her all about my big birthday party the next day.
I always knew about this, but never thought much about it until my son was a little bit delayed with talking. I asked my mum "weren't you worried about me?" and she said "no, because I knew you understood everything."
So I've been using that with my son and he does learn new words and phrases every day, and I know he understands everything so I'm trying not to worry. However, I did get his hearing tested just to make sure it wasn't something medical.
So it's up to you. Do you feel he is OK? Do you think he understands everything and do you think he needs help. Don't worry too much how he compares, but watch him for clues.
By the way. Just so you know, I'm not learning impaired in any way, shape or form.
