When did your toddler have their language explosion?

We haven't had an explosion but Rio has just recently gone from 'mom, dad and nan' to 16 words. Yes I sat and counted them all lol!
He is almost 15 months. I don't know if this is good or bad for his age, but I'm not concerned yet.
Other babies his age that we see at playgroup do seem to talk a fair bit more than him, but he is only really vocal at home for some reason.

At 27 months Lily was being referred to a speech therapist for speech delay. She's 33 months now, hasn't had the appointment through yet and is talking like a pro!

I'm waiting... and waiting... and waiting... he's 29 months and the amount of words he can say I can count on one hand.

I just saw this thread is active again. 8 months after my origial reply we are still waiting for his language explosion he's 3 years and 1 month.

DD hasn't had an explosion quite yet, but she has started picking up way more words lately and is saying 2 word sentences. She says things like "Stop dog" (when she's eating and the dog is begging for food ), "Please mommy", "Thank you", "I'm hungry", etc. She's been doing a whole lot more babbling and imitating speech, so I'm thinking she's going to start talking a lot more pretty soon!

I would say the language explosion is occurring now at 20 months. He went from 20 words and some animal sounds at 18 months to 60/70+ now and starting to copy things we say. He's still not loud and clear like some kids, but he's been saying sentences I guess... "There (is) Mama('s) car", "There Mama shoes" etc.
