Well
said
earthmama.
Our
littlest
A
is
dealing
with
the
same
issue.
At
18
months
she
had
such
severe
blockage
of
her
eardrums
they
couldn't
vibrate,
so
in
essence
she
heard
nothing.
She
is
still
behind
her
age
group
in
speech,
but
our
pediatrician
has
been
of
great
help.
We
check
in
with
her
every
6
months
or
so
to
keep
tabs
on
things,
and
she
said
as
long
as
she
continues
to
make
progress
that's
the
most
important
thing.

obviously
I
am
typing
way
too
fast
and
doing
too
many
things
at
once
-
at
warp
speed-
I
hope
you
can
read
through
the
typos!
sorry!

Christina,
that
is
wonderful
that
hw
is
already
potty
trained-
you
are
one
lucky
gal!
I
can't
remember
when
my
3
year
old
started
to
*really*
talk,
but
if
I
remember
correctly,
it
was
after
the
age
of
2.
She
babbled
and
spoke
words
here
and
there
but
it
was
awhile
before
it
was
actual
sentences.
Perhaps
give
your
pediatrician
a
call
and
tell
hi/her
your
concerns.
They
can
have
you
in
for
a
visit,
go
over
some
tests
(the
same
kind
all
kids
get
at
their
checkups)
and
explain
to
you
how
they
think
he
development
is
progressing.
You
could
wait
the
7
months
until
his
3
year
old
checkup,
(they
do
more
tests
at
this
age,
like
jump
on
one
leg,
jump
over
this
piece
of
paper,
what
is
this
animal,
etc.,
plus
hearing
and
vision)
but
if
you
are
concerned
now,
then
give
them
a
call
and
go
see
what
they
say.
That
is
what
they
are
there
for!
peace, ~earthmama |

My friend and I had babies at the same time and her daughter was always way ahead of Dorian in sitting, crawling and walking, etc. Meanwhile, she didn´t say much more than "mama" and "dada". Dorian on the other hand, took his own sweet time to crawl and walk (after his first birthday!), but he was babbling away long before she was. It was like they were focusing on different areas of interest. I see this with my baby now, too. He´s already walking and he crawled earlier than my older son, but he only says a handful of short words.
I´d check with the doctor to rule out anything physical, but other than that, relax. Kids do things on their own clock. Heck, Benjamin Franklin didn´t start talking until he was FOUR! ;)
