Hi, my 19 month old son can say words he says ball, star, mummy, dada, paper, barnaby bear, lola, pipin, flower, tree, bee, byebye, go, bottle, chair, bubbles, din dins, bag, book, man, tractor, shoe and door.
He repeats the odd word after i say it too but i was just wondering if he should be saying more words and maybe putting sentences together?
And yes before you say it i know all children develop and different speeds and every child is different etc etc but just a rough guidline would help im a first time mum and dont have my parents around for advice and im only 20 and none of my friends have children either. Thanks
According to "What to Expect the Toddler Years", a 22 month old (I don’t know what it says about 19 months) should be speaking 6 words. Some speak more than this and some less, but this is a general guideline that lets you know when/if you need to worry. If you are still concerned, speak to your doctor at your next appointment.

I am trying out for a professional cheerleading team. I have been looking online and found mixed results - some say a leotard, others two piece outfit and others yoga pants. I also see many places that suggest tights or even pantyhose. What makes the most sense?
As for shoes, what should I wear? I actually was hoping to wear sneakers, but I have seen suggestions all over the place. What makes the most sense?
this is what you should wear
- from foot to head
easy move in trianers
sheer fless tone tights: makes your legs looks smove (though to catch their eyes wear whale net tights over the top)
white socks if you wish
leotard: is better and smarter
hair high
little make-up
good luck hope you become a great cheerleader

Dunk is more casual and for skateboarding
and Nike air or jordan are for basketball,dancing, fashion, walking and just a trend.

When my son was 22 months old I told my sons pediatrician I was concerned with his speech or lack there of. She told me to contact "children first" for a developmental assessment. I did, he did very well in all aspects other than speech. She recommended that he be evaluated by a speech pathologist. The speech pathologist suggested he may have speech apraxia. I brought him back to his pediatrician and she says that she would not diagnose him with apraxia, that he just is a late talker and we have nothing to worry about at all.
He will be two in 5 days and says about 15-17 words. Mama, dada, dog, nahla (cats name), dora, diego, juice, yes, no, please etc. He imitates animal noises such as meow, moo, neigh, baaa. bzzz, and when asked to name an animal he will say the sound instead. He has many times spontaneously said words like light bulb, nice shoes, cat, car, bubbles but we are unable to ever get him to repeat those words. Often his words end in "ese" or "eses" He will be seeing a speech therapist regularly starting this week. I would like to get feedback from people familiar with apraxia, has anyones children overcome it completley? been misdiagnosed? how much improvement should I expect from speech therapy? is there anything I can do at home? does this even sound like apraxia? should I trust my sons pediatrician who has known him since birth, or a speech pathologoist who saw him for 30 minutes?
My son has Childhood Apraxia of Speech. I knew there was a problem before he was 2. At the age of 2 he could say maybe 20 words. His pediatrician said he was "just a late talker". Your son sounds similar to mine.I knew otherwise. Dr. would not even consider a speech eval until he was 3, and after hearing test. At 3yrs he could say 30 words. Even so my insurance refused an eval. (it is very hard to get insurances to cover anything for speech). I was rejected for evals until he was 5yrs old.
Apraxia is a neurological disorder you need to have it "approved for eval" as a symbolic dysfunction , not speech delay. I actually brought in about 20 pages of highlighted information off the web to help his pediatrician get it approved.
He is 7 now and has "rapid, intense, speech therapy" He now has an extensive vocabulary but still struggles very hard with speech. I have fought doctors, schools and insurances to get my child’s needs met.
For improvement you need "rapid intense therapy" 4-5 xs a week. At 3yrs you can get your child an IEP from the school and have free therapy from them. Work hard at getting your insurance to pay for addition therapy. It is hard but can be done.
Speech paths do speech for a living. If you have a good one I would definitely trust their evals. They know more about speech.
Be patient with your son. It is very frustrating for him. My son would throw tantrums all the time. Your speech path can give you stuff to work with at home.
Also 75% of children who are Apraxic are Dyslexic. My son is now struggling with learning disabilities as well.
For a child who is Apraxic they know what they want to say, but have a very hard time getting it out.
Please visit these websites for lots of info.
