Let's say about 40 or more. Mostly one syllable, some 2 syllable

words. I can think of 30 off the top of my head, but as I look

around the house, I imagine there are more that I'm not thinking of

at the moment. I just whispered to her with my back turned, as

someone had suggested and she did respond. Perhaps she's talking

more than I notice - sounds horrible doesn't it?

Actually, she is probably fine.....she actually sounds like she is on

the threshold of sentences. Just a bit behind is all....no biggie.

I was having visions of a child not speaking at all. THAT would have

been a potentially serious problem. Might not be bad to get the test

if your insurance covers it in a couple of months. Im always happy

to answer any questions. Off line if you like...xtina@...

My brother didn't really talk until after he was 3 and when he did it was

full sentences. And guess what, he was never vaccinated either because I

had extreme reactions when they tried to vaccinate me (as did my mother

and grandfather before me). He did fight pneumonia a couple times as a

baby and was born very sick because my mother became pregnant with him

shortly after a tubal pregnancy and was quite sick herself. So I suppose

it could be argued that his boughts of illness may have held his speech

development back. But it didn't affect his comprehension. I remember

interpretting for him all the time. But once he finally really started

talking, in complete and *detailed* sentences, he wouldn't shut up! He

did go through some speech therapy early in school and he's certainly

fine for it now - some big wig programmer sort for a large successful

company and the world's greatest salesman who has everyone convinced he's

a charming miracle.... ooops, sorry, is that big sister coming out?
