Speech at 2 years old?

[kellie80]

Aimees talking is terrible. Shes 26 months now and I can hardly understand anything she says. She can't say 's' at all which makes things worse. I remember My eldest was talking perfectly on her 3rd birthday and even a while before then. Aimee can't even say her own name propaly yet. what's normal for a 2 year old?

My nephew has just gone 2 and I cant really understand him. He says Noooo and Yeah and Nanni and num num (food) that I understand but the rest of the time he points and yells at what he wants or just nods and shakes his head - I think they all develop at different rates hun

my DD is 2 1/2 and cant say her name yet, she says narna bless her. shes only just starting to speak better in this last month. but at 26 months she was a gibbering wreck and couldnt really make out what she was saying except she says numnum after eating yoghurt

Seren can say a few things and sentences (mainly around the subject of food oddly enough ) but she does still babble a lot too and I can't understand what she is saying. I wouldn't worry toomuch at this stage,my cousi struggled with her s' but in time grew out of it and speaks very clearly now.

Lydia speaks very well - full sentences, almost always clearly and easy to understand. Her vocabularly is large. She has a basic grasp of plurals (one foot, two feet) but sometimes pluralises incorrectly (two sheeps). She can count to 20, can recite the alphabet, can tell you her full name, where she lives (although she's convinced that our house number is 5 instead of 9), and how old she is. Etc. etc.

Of course it's not perfect, she has some grammatical problems (she mixes up I and You), often refers to herself in the third person, sometimes makes up words (if she doesn't know the name for something she'll call it a 'machit thing'), she has a very slight lisp, but other than that she's very fluent.

All children develop at different speeds though, I wouldn't be worried if I were you.

Hi

Kiara mostly babbles still she does say alot of words but it will be like mom bla bla bla bla bla dog bla bla bla bla bla banana
So i get only bits and pieces of what she is trying to say
Every child is different hun she will prob just start talking all at once!!

Thanks. It was the not saying the 's' thing that started me worrying. Its hard not to compare her to her sister though

Aaron was babbling for what seemed like forever and then it all just clicked and now he says so much and he knows tons! Sometimes I don't even know where he gets things from! It just happens one day and then they don't stop talking. If he speaks to fast he can go into a babble again but I tell him to slow down and he usually comes out with what he wants. I wouldn't worry hun! It'll come soon enough!

I know a two year old that has never said a word yet and some that can talk almost perfect. My lad is very good a little limited but can relate words to the right object and talk in a sentince. Was worried because I had to go to speach therapy alot when I was younger, still struggle with long words. But he is very good.
