Hi,
I know this is something nobody can answer without meeting my son but I just don't understand it. He's 2 years and five months old and is talking a lot now. He repeats everything and says a few big sentences now. He started saying real words just before his 2nd birthday. We looked into early intervention and he has a teacher come over once or twice a month. During his evaluation his comprehension scored an 88 when average is 40-60. I thought that was strange for him to understand so much but not be talking. His EI teacher said there is nothing she could tell me to do that I'm not already doing and he's just going to take off talking soon.
She was right, he is talking more and more but I don't understand why he's delayed in the first place. He doesn't have autism or anything else like that. We lived with my parents when he was a baby and my mom, brother, and I stayed home so he always had someone holding him and playing with him. He never watched TV until he was about 13 months and then it was Brainy Baby and educational shows. He quickly picked up sign language, phonics, the alphabet, shapes, colors and number from it. I'm wondering if I had Little Reader or Your Baby Can Read back then if that would've changed things because he learns so well from the TV. I don't know what else I could have done. He was held a lot and didn't have much tummy time because he hated it. He co-slept with us ( He still does and so does his sister.). He was 9 months when he started crawling and 14 months when he started walking.
He's also failure to thrive but that's another thing.
