what should my child be sayin at 18 months old?

Published by Jammy Sinclair on November 23, 2009

hi all my son is 18 months old and i was wondering how is speech should be coming along as he doesnt really say anything yet . he says mam mam and dada and is constantly sayin hiyaaa and he can say book and spoon but wont say them unless i say to him say book or lets go get a spoon and he says juice sometimes too. he understands everything i say tho . if i say go get yr shoes and coat he will get them , go get mammy a nappy and your wipes he wil get them or go get mammy remote,ball,book. anything i say go get he will understand . i just cant get him to say many words should i be worried or how can i encourage him to say words

Instead of telling him what to get, maybe you want to pick it up and ask him what it is? Just an idea for him to try to talk more.

My daughter is 18 months and this is what she says on a daily basis:
the ABC song
counts to 10
Thank You
All of our dogs names
No (her favorite, haha!)
Wow!
Sings parts of songs, clearly
Mine
Daddy, dada
Mommy, mama
Dog
Elmo
What
Huh?
…and that is all I can think of right now. But she does talk a lot and quite clearly. She isn’t as good about getting stuff as your son, though. I could say "go get the book" and only 1/2 the time she’d do it. That’s that part where each child hits their milestones at different ages. No need to worry, I think he’s probably on track. Right now, my daughter also says a lot of mumbo jumbo and says it so confidently…can’t wait to figure out what she is saying!

Is a mat a clean enough thing to exercise on?

Published by Jammy Sinclair on November 19, 2009

I’m a bit of a germaphobic.
I use this mat to exercise at home. However, people come and
go to our home with their shoes on. Sometimes I use this mat for yoga
or light breathing exercises and don’t have time to take shower afterwards.
Is a mat a good enough thing to exercise on and stay free from the germs on the floor?
I wash it immediately after using.

Make sure that you put one side down on the possibly dirty floor and the other side up.
You could put a beach towel on top of it before you roll it up to keep the clean side from being touched by the floor side. If you have a beach towel that looks different on one side from the other, that would be idea. if not, then make sure you always put the label in the same direction.

Putting the mat on a towel on the floor will not work as it defeats the purpose of the mat–to keep you from sliding around.

My 2 cents.

Do you need the nike shoes in order to use the nike sportsband watch?

Published by Jammy Sinclair on November 19, 2009

I want to get this watch for running since it calculates you pace and you know your distance but idk if you need the shoes also for it to work. here is a link http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikeplus/en_US/products/sportband

Watching sports on the go has never been easier. Watch all the big games, match highlights and player interviews live on any computer!

what kind of winter shoes can i wear with yoga pants?

Published by Jammy Sinclair on November 10, 2009

i have gray and black ones, but no shoes to wear with them except flip flops, and it’s definitely too cold for them now. uggs work right? i don’t have any but i might get them (not real ones, too expensive). i have a pair of black flats, and a pair or brown, flat, slouchy boots but they don’t go with yoga pants. i have converse, but they kill my feet. i’m only 15, so my money is pretty tight and i’m not looking to be totally fashionable, i just want something functional and seasonable that doesn’t look stupid.

ugg style boots look good with yoga pants. Also althletic shoes do too. I would get rid of those converse. There is no point in having shoes that hurt your feet.

When did your baby start talking?

Published by Jammy Sinclair on November 10, 2009

REPOST:

My daughter is 15 months old and doesn’t really say any words. She said ‘mama’ a few months ago for a little while but she rarely says it now. she never called me mama directly and from i read she should recognize me and call me that and her daddy ‘dada’ which she doesn’t do either.

She does understand when i talk to her very well, when i ask her for she shoes, water, to give something to her daddy,and so on, anything i say she understands…but she doesn’t say anything.

The doctor says that if she doesn’t improve by her 18 month appointment we will have to see a Speech therapist.

I’m not that worried because she’s done great in every other milestones but it kinda bothers me that the doctor is making such a big deal. I’ve hear of other kids not speaking until 2 or 3 years old and they’ve done great.
MADDIESMUM: cool, i’ve never heard that before about crawling and walking early and late talking, i hope it’s true, that would make some sense with my daughter, she walked at 10 months and she’s super strong, she’s much more active than kids her own age. Thanks!
My hubby and I never "baby talked" to her, i always heard that wasn’t good.

I am a little worried. She should definitely have one word by now. The fact that she used to say "Mama" and now doesn’t is troubling as well. It’s encouraging that her receptive language (language comprehension) appears to be ok, but you should be hearing a new word every couple days. Her expressive language really should start exploding by 18 months.

Is she imitating your speech? If you point to something and say it’s name, does she verbalize in response? My son is 13 months old and when I say "pasta" and wiggle a noodle in his face during mealtime, he responds loudly with "data!" That is one of many examples from our daily routine. He is imitating constantly.

Another thing is that normally it’s boys who talk later than girls. At my job my caseload is overwhelmingly little boys with speech problems. Generally girls are more advanced than little boys are in the speech department. Since you have a little girl, I would expect her to reach these milestones on the early side.

You mention kids not speaking until 2 or 3 still "doing great." I would say that I rarely see a kid who is a "late talker" catch up fully in the speech and language department. They often continue to struggle with oral language, grammar, speech errors, and later reading and decoding. If a kid isn’t talking by 2 or 3, that is a major problem in my opinion.

If your doctor is concerned, that is a big deal. It may be worthwhile to look into the Early Intervention program run by your state. Assessments are usually free and then you would know one way or another if you daughter has a problem. If your child needs therapy, then cost is calculated on a sliding scale based on income and therapy is provided in your home. Additionally if you have good insurance you could pursue a referral from your doctor for a a speech evaluation through your insurance policy and an in-network provider.

Good luck!

Do you know any sites or stores that have womens basketball shoes?

Published by Jammy Sinclair on November 10, 2009

size 10.5 or 11. I need some new ones because our uniforms are red, black, and white and the shoes i have now are blue.
I’d prefer they’re not dead ugly, but whatever you can show me would be great!

i got some kinda cute black/white ones from dicks sporting goods. i’m sure if you go to their website or nike’s website you can find some.

other than the differences in size & style, what’s the difference between womens shoes and mens shoes?

Published by Jammy Sinclair on November 5, 2009

is it in the structure, or maybe women’s feet are shaped a little differently than men’s feet?

i’m looking to buy basketball shoes, & there are so many more shoe styles for men than there are for women, and they’re cheaper too. i’m considering just buying a men’s pair because unlike clothes, basketball shoes are kinda unisex, right ?

I really don’t think there is any other difference.Well maybe flexibility? But seriously just buy mens shoes, if you like the style. I haven’t seen any differences between men and womens basketball shoes (my sister plays bball). The only thing that could happen, is that you’ll run into a few guys with the same shoes as yours. I had the same issue, back when I played soccer. Guys shoes were more stylist, flexible, and cheaper. Haha the funny thing from that experience is that a lot of guys liked my shoes and started to wear the same cleats as mine!

My son is 15 months old and does about as much as your daughter. He says mum mum but he doesnt really say it at me. He doesnt say dada or anything. He makes sounds like aaay (for yay) and baa baa (for bye bye). He doesnt say any words clearly (where other people outside of the family could understand) except mum. I dont think you should be worried. I am not.

Also my son isnt walking yet. He is just starting to take steps, like going from the coffee table to the couch or from one side of the door way to the other. His doctor has said he is fine
