She had a few words before that but I was freaking out since my son started saying words at 6 months and was talking in sentences at 18 months, apparently HE was a freak of nature as the doctor would lose it when this little thing would start talking. ;) So don't stress too much, I know easier said then done. I hope it just turns out that she is a late talker, it happens, she just doesn't have anything to say right now. Believe me when I say that I regret wanting the speech to kick in now that it is ALL DEMANDS ALL DAY LONG!!! She has yet to find her inside voice. ;) Happy New Year to you and yours.Shinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03868088157963608087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959909924189831348.post-56141047046322586112009-12-30T09:42:25.258-05:002009-12-30T09:42:25.258-05:00I have no advice, but I do have much sympathy. We...I have no advice, but I do have much sympathy. We're facing a similiar issue (and the lack of mama kills me a little inside), and it sucks to be so stressed out about it, especially when everyone else's same-age child seems to be full of stuff to say that's as clear as day. Harry does have a few words, but it didn't stop the random pedi we saw when his was out from diagnosing him as having a speech delay and recommending early intervention. We declined at the time, but may reconsider if his regular doctor makes the same recommendation when we see her next week.<br /><br />I hope the specialist gets back to you soon and that it proves to be either nothing at all or something easily worked on.K @ ourboxofrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05633428907297371867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959909924189831348.post-70365766154814683432009-12-29T22:05:48.371-05:002009-12-29T22:05:48.371-05:00Don't worry too much. It's more important...Don't worry too much. It's more important that she understands what you're saying rather than being able to say anything herself. The speech therapist will be able to determine if you just need to do some speech exercises at home with her or if she needs some short term therapy. It's good you're looking into it now, but don't stress out about it - this seems to be quite common.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08188110112312139648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959909924189831348.post-13298594153957470082009-12-29T19:32:33.344-05:002009-12-29T19:32:33.344-05:00I know it's hard, but try not to worry too muc...I know it's hard, but try not to worry too much. I am an infant and toddler coordinator and I see these kinds of problems all the time. More often than not, either the child starts talking on their own, or early speech pathology is only needed for a short time. Please keep us updated.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00377807962772039692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959909924189831348.post-60750898575923678182009-12-29T17:26:26.252-05:002009-12-29T17:26:26.252-05:00It IS always something.

But hopefully the speech therapist can shed some light.<br />I hope that soon--very soon--she starts talking and never stops :)DAVshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759565504954172751noreply@blogger.com
