My son will turn 18 months old next month and only says a handful of words. (bear, ball, mama and "isha" for fishy) He points, waves claps etc. Our pediatrician told us at his last appointment that if he hasn't had an "explosion of language" by his 18 month appointment we might have to explore some kind of speech therapy? How many words do other children this age usually have? My daughter had a ton of words by this age and I can't help but worry why he doesn't..
