Tysen's Vocabulary @ 18 months

Tysen's therapists have me count all of Tysen's words

As of now he has 23 words, 13 gestures and 2 two word sentences. So as of right now he is doing really good.

The therapists say he should have about 20 words by now but the pediatrician was really impressed when I told her that he had 23 words because she said that they are only expected to know 7-10 word at this point.....ok.....and here I am being a speech freak!

1. Baba (bottle) 2. bup (up) 3. nite nite (good night) 4. car 5. shoe 6. Hi 7. Bye 8. Ball 9. Bath 10. Nanna (bannana) 11. Ju (Juice) 12. Mom 13. Dadda 14. done done (all done) 15. WOW
16. biaper (diaper) 17. mote (remote) 18. melmo (elmo) 19. uh-oh! 20. YAY! 21. no! 22. baby 23. bankby (blanky)

WOW!!! Really that is a lot of words. What a smart little guy. Did you practice with him??? How did he learn them? Tell me your secret. I am desperate to get Ella to learn some words instead of saying "uuuh uuuh" (and pointing) for everything.

You know what really helped Tysen is starting by just doing the first letter sounds. Like I had a little song and we will sing "baby baby, ba, ba, ba...He started saying the ba ba ba part and then soon he would figure out how to say the whole word.

Believe me even though he can say all those words he still points and grunts ...lol
